Senators Who Support War Without End

The truth is out. After a vote in the U.S. Senate, we have a clear picture of those senators who continue to want Bush's war in Iraq to continue forever, and ever, and ever. The list, provided by the New York Times, shows those senators who voted against a proposal to start to withdraw troops.

Here is an explanation of the proposal (NY Times):
Following is the 50-to-48 roll-call vote in the Senate on Thursday by which Republicans turned back Democratic a resolution to require a United States troop withdrawal from Iraq to begin within 120 days. The 48 votes were 12 short of the 60 needed for passage. A “yes” vote was a vote to support the measure. Voting “yes” were 46 Democrats, 1 Republican and 1 independent. Voting “no” were 2 Democrats, 1 independent and 47 Republicans. Two senators did not vote.

If your senator is on this list, call his/her office and give them a piece of your mind:
