We finally have some words from Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce (OH-15) on the Iraq War. It looks like Deborah Pryce is still following Bush and the Republican party line. In her speech in the House of Representatives, and now available at C-SPAN, Pryce said the following about Bush's surge/escalation plan:
She said the President's plan was "sophisticated and comprehensive." Pryce also said that representatives should not "pass this resolution because it has no positive value."
I disagree with Pryce. Even though this is only a resolution, it is a beginning in ending the war. It makes a statement that says that this escalation is wrong and that efforts must be made to end our involvement in Iraq.
When Pryce was in the Republican leadership in the House, she did not offer a plan on how to bring our troops home. Pryce didn't go out on a limb and offer a suggestion on how to end the war. Now that her Republican Party is out of power, she is willing to attack any idea or resolution advanced by the Democrats.
Obviously, Pryce doesn't care that a majority of her constituents want our troops home now. Let her know your views on Iraq so that Pryce will know where we stand. Pryce should vote to represent the views of her district, not the GOP. The contact page for Pryce can be found here.
