To withhold contributions to the NRSC if the Senate passes a resolution that criticizes the war:
If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.Go here for more information and a link to the pledge. Nothing is more important than this war and if the Republicans don't get it that we still support this war, then we should tell them loud and clear that we do. And we should promise to hit them where it counts, in their pocketbook and the knowledge that they can't count on their base for their next election.
I took the pledge and urge you to do the same. I also called McConnell's office to complain and find out if they plan to filibuster. They wouldn't say until the bills have been finalized. Call McConnell and register your support for the war.
