Local members of MoveOn.org Political Action delivered a petition o Representative Bob Ney’s office, encouraging American troop pullout in Iraq.
The group collected over 400 signatures for the “Out in ‘06” petition, urging Ney to support an exit strategy with a timeline that brings troops home by the end on 2006.
“We believe this is the right time with the elections in Iraq tomorrow, and they’re ready for us to leave,” said MoveOn.org member Lindsay Rayber.
Hundreds of thousands of MoveOn members from around the country signed petitions that were delivered to other Congressman today.
One soldier’s mother spoke for a troop withdrawal on behalf of her son who is currently serving in Iraq. “The only ones you hear from at this point are for it. But the ones who do not agree with it have to be silent, and I speak for all of them, and there’s many of them” said Mona Parsons.
Congressman Ney responded by saying MoveOn.org is the same George Soros-funded political organization that had ads last year comparing President Bush to Hitler. This is an organization, according to Ney, that represents the far, far-left of the political spectrum and if they had their way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power and al-Qaeda would be running rampant around the globe.
