Today, Jane Hamsher of FireDogLake was on C-Span's Washington Journal discussing the war supplemental. I wrote about this last night, but Jane explains the war supplemental vote in great detail and puts it in the proper context.
The fight here is centered on IMF funding ($108 billion) that President Barack Obama first pledged on a trip to Europe. That IMF funding has been included in the war supplemental. This has created an interesting marriage between Republicans, who oppose this, and progressives, who also oppose this.
Call your representative and ask them where they stand on the supplemental. Ask where they stand, while also telling them that we shouldn't be bailing out European banks while nearly 50 million people in this country are living without health insurance.
