political activism in my driveway

In the past week, Congress has voted down three separate proposals that would have supported our troops and helped end the war. But Wednesday, the House did manage to join the Senate in condemning MoveOn.

When the only thing our elected representatives can agree on is to silence war critics, it's time to get louder.

Congress may not be doing its job. But that means it's all the more important for the 3.3 million of us to do ours. We need to make it crystal clear that we will not stand down or relent until the war ends.

So we're launching Americans for Exit, a powerful new project that will remind our representatives that those of us against the war are America—we're teachers, factory workers, lawyers, moms, dads, students, secretaries, and dog owners. We're 70% of the country, we vote, and we're fed up with the war.

Here's how it works: You send a picture of you which shows how you feel about the war. Then, you'll record a voice message to Congress. We'll put together a big unveiling, use your photos and words in an ad campaign and deliver them to your members of Congress. We'll make it impossible for them to ignore you.

It’s really easy and it’s a powerful way to send our message to Congress. I already joined in—you should too.

and left my Congressman a message, too:

Congressman Sarbanes,

You seem to have lost your voice…at least the voice that is supposed to represent the people who elected you.

Can you hear me? Because I will not be silenced.

Your efforts and skills belong to the people of Baltimore County. We want the war to end. We want our families back. We want the lies to stop.

Step up and do your job. Can you hear us? Support Us. Support our troops. BRING THEM HOME.

now it's your turn....
