I've made no secret of how much I admire Smash over at The Indepundit. His was the first blog I ever read - right after he started Lt. Smash. He is someone I cannot say enough good things about. Period.
He's throwing out a call to action. MoveOn.org has been collecting signatures for petitions - as he calls them Cut and Run petitions. In this post he has contact numbers for our Representatives. We need to call. We need to make sure our representatives KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that, yes we want our Military Men and Women home - it must be at the right time. To leave now, is to lose the ground that has been taken. To leave now is to pull the freedom from Iraqi's hands. To leave now is making light of those that have sacrificed all. (note: link is one of the most difficult accounts I've ever read regarding the notification of the loss of one of our troops. Not An Easy Read. It WILL break your heart. h/t Lex at Neptunus Lex)
So call your Representative. Let them know how you feel. I did. From work. I didn't care if I got in trouble. It was worth it. It's the very least that I can do.
What about you? Will you take the time? Will you be heard?
