Remember their faces. Remember their names. The Republicans in the United States Senate.
A majority of Americans are opposed to escalation in Iraq.	According to a CBS News poll, two-thirds of Americans oppose the idea of a troop surge. Asked if 20,000+ additional troops should be sent to Iraq, 66% of Americans said no. [CBS News Transcripts, 1/22/07] A Newsweek poll showed that 68 percent of Americans oppose Mr. Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq. [NBC News Transcripts, 1/20/07] A Fox poll found that 59 percent of the American people are against sending more troops to Iraq. [Fox News, 1/20/07]
Yet, instead of allowing a vote on escalation…	On February 5, 2007, the Senate voted to stop the Senate from considering a bi-partisan resolution opposing President Bush's plan to send 21,500 additional combat troops to Iraq. [Washington Post, 2/6/07; New York Times, 2/6/07]
the republicans blocked the debate.	Forty-five Republicans voted to block the Senate from voting on the resolution. [Vote #44, S 470, 2/5/07]
They’re willing to send tens of thousands more troops to face danger in Iraq…	President Bush: “I have committed more than 20,000 additional American troops to Iraq.” [President Bush Address to the Nation, 1/10/07]
but they don’t have the courage to face a vote.	The procedural vote was 11 votes short of the 60 needed to begin debate on the bipartisan resolution. [New York Times, 2/6/07]
Announcer (VO): Call your senators or (call Senator Joe Smith.) Tell them to stop the escalation. MoveOn.org Political Action is responsible for the content of this advertisement.
