Latest on the Supplemental: We’ve got 34 out of 39

So says Jane Hamsher.

This move just goes to show how much power a small, dedicated group of people can have, and how toxic the war in Afghanistan (as well as bailouts for European banks) is becoming.

I think that’s worth noting again. Afghanistan is playing a big role here. More and more people are questioning the rational for escalation, and more and more Members of Congress are listening. And they’re right to do it. It’s expensive, it lacks a strategy, and it lacks and endgame. In this economic climate, we shouldn’t be spending so much blood and treasure on a war without a way out.

The netroots is moving this debate, and the war funding supplemental just might get defeated. Keep up the pressure with calls and letters to the editor, so we can get those last five votes.
