Give 'Em Hell Harry

Our leader in the U.S. Senate, Harry Reid, has launched a new action website and blog called Give 'Em Hell Harry. First action: You can sign a petition to be sent to Bush on Iraq that says:

You can no longer mislead Congress and the American people and need to honestly lay out the facts about Iraq. It's time for an Iraq success strategy that will bring our troops home.

We cannot continue to stay the course in Iraq -- we must change the course.

As MoveOn says:

Since 2004, Republicans have stonewalled on a promise to investigate the Bush administration deceptions that led to the Iraq war. So Republicans thought it was business as usual Tuesday afternoon when Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid took to the floor of the Senate to comment on Iraq. Then a modern day Boston Tea Party began.

Reid stopped all other Senate business and forced the Senate into a special closed session to discuss Iraq and demand accountability in the White House CIA Leak scandal. It was a bold move, but after more than an hour, Democrats emerged victorious having won a renewed investigation into the misuse of intelligence leading to the war in Iraq—including the White House CIA leak.

Reid didn't stop there. On Wednesday, he e-mailed supporters and asked them to join him in demanding a success strategy to bring our troops home from Iraq. Now that he's fighting this important fight, it's critical that we show him how much we appreciate this act of leadership. Check out his petition and add you name.
