This morning, the Senate didn’t pass an exit strategy for Iraq. They didn’t pass a bill to cover millions of uninsured Americans or combat the climate crisis. Instead they condemned MoveOn.org.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dear Rob,<\/p>\n
The U.S. Senate just told you to sit down and be quiet when they passed a Republican amendment condemning MoveOn.1<\/p>\n
Every day, our brave men and women are dying in a bloody civil war this Senate has done nothing to stop. Yesterday, they couldn’t even pass a bill to give soldiers adequate leave with their families before redeploying.2 But they’re spending time cracking down on a newspaper ad?<\/p>\n
So, we’re making clear where America stands. We’re releasing a statement from MoveOn members\u2014and anyone else who feels the same way\u2014saying, “We will not be quiet, we will fight back. We will keep speaking out until Congress forces an exit plan for this awful war.”<\/p>\n

Maybe you liked our General Petraeus ad.3 Maybe you thought the language went too far. But make no mistake: this is much bigger than one ad.<\/p>\n
It’s part of a larger campaign by Fox, the right-wing echo chamber, and Republicans like John McCain (who said we should be “thrown out of the country”).4<\/p>\n
They’re doing it because they’re hurting: Polls show last week’s Bush Administration PR blitz increased the number of Americans favoring withdrawal5 and vulnerable Republicans are sinking lower and lower in the polls (or announcing their retirement).<\/p>\n
And it has one purpose: to intimidate all of us. To send a message that anyone who speaks unpleasant truths about this war will pay. To make everyone\u2014especially politicians\u2014think twice before they accuse the administration of lying.<\/p>\n
If it looks like we’re on the run, people will think twice before they speak out. Will you send a message today to Dick Cheney, Fox, Bill O’Reilly, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Karl Rove\u2014and the Democrats without the guts to vote against this\u2014that it’s not working?<\/p>\n
We’ve changed our home page to just run the names of people who sign on. We’ll report the totals to the media all day. And if we can find an electronic billboard in Washington, D.C., we’ll run the names there, too.<\/p>\n
And after you add your name, you can go one step further. We’ve put together a fair but hard-hitting ad that highlights how, yesterday, Republicans blocked a bill to give our troops adequate family leave before going back to Iraq. If we can raise enough money, we’ll air this ad across the country and take the fight back to the real issues\u2014this terrible war and its impact on our troops and the Iraqi people.<\/p>\n

This morning, the Senate didn’t pass an exit strategy for Iraq. They didn’t pass a bill to cover millions of uninsured Americans or combat the climate crisis. Nope\u2014they condemned 3.4 million Americans for speaking out against the war.<\/p>\n
Let them know them it’s not going to work.<\/p>\n
Thank you for all you do, every day, to get the truth out.<\/p>\n

1. You can see the resolution text here and the roll call of who voted for it here. Absurdly, it claims that MoveOn “impugns the honor and integrity of … all the members of the United States Armed Force”\u2014despite the fact that MoveOn includes hundreds of thousands of veterans and military family members, who’ve led our campaign to bring our troops home.
