| I ask because I'm confused. See, I remember that "Bring The Troops Home" rally on the waterfront in Poughkeepsie. You should too. You were there. You spoke passionately about ending the war. You were amazing. Here's a picture I took of you addressing the crowd on that blustery afternoon:
Now I read over at MyDD that you may be one of the Blue Dogs who can't bring themselves to vote for a bill that sets a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. Granted, Matt added in an update that rumor has it that you want to see the bill first. Fine. But, I want to know just where you stand on this issue.
And, yeah, I know. I get it. I know you are in a marginal district. I know it can't be as easy to stand up to this idiot president from the 20th as it would be in other places. I also know that the president is going to do whatever he damn well pleases no matter what Congress does. But, damn it, Kirsten, you and many others were sent to DC for a reason and ending this god forsaken war was certainly a large part of it. I and most of the country have had enough. Take. A. Stand.
Where do you stand, Kirsten Gillibrand?
UPDATE: I just got a call from Gillibrand's Chief of Staff and he informs me that Kirsten will indeed be voting FOR the supplemental and that it was "never in question" that she would do otherwise. This is very, very good to hear. Cheers to you Rep Gillibrand. |
