My man, Russ, on the Dems, Iraq and "ratcheting up the pressure"

feingold urges us to continue to fight the good fight... i've been feeling glum about the dems' poor performance on most everything, including iraq, so i could use a little inspiration...

This is no time to back down. This fight to end the war isn’t something that we can just put off or kick down the road. As mcjoan pointed out, it doesn’t make any sense to wait until this "mythical September" when Republicans will suddenly decide that we need to get out of Iraq. Why should this wait until September? First Americans had to put up with a Republican Congress that did nothing, and now we are faced with a Democratic Congress that is giving the President exactly what he wants – continuing his failed policy and leaving our troops stuck in the middle of a civil war. Some strategy. We can’t back down when the stakes are so high. I know you’ll keep ratcheting up the pressure, and that’s exactly what we need right now. Now is the time to be pulling out all the stops to end the war.

i totally agree, but what tools are we left with...? yes, the usual... blogging, phone calls, emails, faxes, petitions, letters to the editor... we keep pushing this boulder up the hill and it keeps rolling back down... guess we gotta keep pushin', eh...?
