Stick Thrower writes a letter to Senators Corker and Lamar:

Senator,

I am writing you today to express my overwhelming disgust and
disappointment in your vote condemning the advertisement put out by
MoveOn.org. Unbelievably, this absurd condemnation got an up/down
vote today, yet you continue to filibuster other meaningful
legislation such as yesterday's Webb amendment restoring reasonable
deployment periods for active military.

It was an ad! If you can muster such resolve over a lousy
advertisement to waste time on such a resolution, could you please
work up a little outrage over the senseless Iraq war and the way our
troops are being overused to fight it. Show some real support for the
military and do something about THAT, please!

As Chris Dodd so succinctly stated today, "Now that you've voted
twice on this ad, it's time to move on and vote to end the war in
Iraq."

Exactly.

The next time the Webb amendment comes up for vote, don't filibuster.
Vote for cloture and passage, and put it on the desk of President
Bush. Then override his veto. Show some real support for the military
instead of doing Bush's dirty work to keep his war going.

Better yet, cut the funding for the entire Iraq debacle and bring the
troops home now.
