I write in support of Senator Edward Kennedy's bill to withhold funding for additional troop deployments to Iraq prior to Congressional approval.
Two bills on this issue have received attention in the media, Sen. Kennedy's, and a non-binding "no confidence" resolution put forward by Sen. Henry Reid. Of these two, I believe Senator Kennedy's comes closest to taking the necessary action.
Senator Kennedy's bill enforces Congressional power of the purse. It is a bill with practical effect, unlike a non-binding resolution. I believe Senate time is best used debating bills such as Sen. Kennedy's, rather than debating non-binding resolutions.
I urge you to support Senator Kennedy's bill, and to vote "yes" when it comes to the floor.
[Signed]
Note: A seperate copy of this letter will be sent to each senator
Send a message to Senator Reid
