I also want to take this opportunity to introduce you to Steve Harrison.

The other candidates involved include Darcy Burner (WA-8), Sam
Bennett (PA-15), Larry Byrnes (FL-14), Donna Edwards (MD4), George
Fearing (WA-4), Eric Massa (NY 29), Chellie Pingree (ME-1), Jared
Polis (CO-2), and Tom Perriello (VA-5).
Democratic Congressional Candidate Steve Harrison joined a group of 9
other leading Democratic Congressional challengers with large
grassroots followings in issuing a detailed strategic outline called
"Responsible Plan to End the War in Iraq".
The strategic plan which was developed by consulting retired generals
and other national security experts, calls for Congress to end U.S.
military involvement in Iraq, restore government accountability and
work toward energy independence, all goals Harrison is strongly
committed to.
"We must commence the withdrawal of U.S. troops ASAP and achieve the
complete removal of residual forces from Iraq as soon as it is
consistent with their safety."
Harrison continues, "This week is the 5th anniversary of the
disastrous Iraq invasion. The Bush administration has not articulated
a rationale for the continuation of this war. The current objective
is not clear and the original reasons given by the Bush
administration for the war were proven false. Why they were false --
lies or incompetence -- is beside the point. They were false
nonetheless. There are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Iraq
was not responsible for 9/11. So there is no basis to continue."
"America's need for oil was the driving force behind the invasion of
Iraq. This is why energy independence must be a key component of
foreign policy as well as domestic policy. Initiatives such as the
Apollo Energy Act of 2007 and other related legislation are important
not only for our environment, but for our safety. Iraq must be our
last "oil war". America's national and economic security depends on
energy independence. For these reasons, I am proud to be part of the
events of today and to add my name to the Responsible Plan to End the
War in Iraq."
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Steve Harrison. He is challenging the execrable Vito Fossella, the only Rebup in the NY City Congressional delegation. Steve ran against Fossella in 2006 and got a higher percentage of the vote than any Democrat since redistricting.
