Be a Spokesperson

Posted by Mike on Wednesday, April 04

Be a SpokesmanGeorge Bush has said about the failed war in Iraq: "we're not leaving, so long as I'm the President."

So what do the Republican presidential frontrunners think about brining our troops home?

John McCain thinks that "there are neighborhoods in Baghdad where you and I could walk through" and believes that setting a date to withdraw our troops from Iraq is "a very bad decision."

Rudy Giuliani believes that "a timetable for retreat seems like a very bad strategy."

Mitt Romney believes that the war still has "a reasonable probability of success," and when asked just this morning if his policy would be the same as President Bush's, he said "of course."

Why don't the voices of the Republican presidential candidates echo the concerns of the American people?

We want to ask that question to as many people as we can before the 2008 election - and you can help. Right now the Democratic Party is creating a new ad on the war in Iraq. Instead of stating the case ourselves, we want people like you to explain why it's time to end the war and bring our troops home.

Help us out and become the Democratic Party's newest spokesperson:

Gov. Dean came to the DNC with one goal: to put the Democratic Party in the hands of its grassroots supporters across the country. Like you, he understands that the energy and determination of our members is our Party's biggest asset.

So rather than react to these out-of-touch Republican remarks with sound bites from Washington D.C. consultants, we want our response to reflect the views of the people who matter most: regular folks like you.

Make your voice heard now:

Democrats in Congress are doing everything they can to bring this war to an end, but President Bush and his Republican allies insist on prolonging the war indefinitely.

Meanwhile, our brave troops - perhaps your friends or family members -- continue to risk their lives every day. They are stuck in the middle of a bloody civil war with no military solution and no end in sight.

That's why we need to keep putting the pressure on. The majority of Americans are already against this war, but there are millions more who still need to be convinced.

By sending in your opinion on the Iraq War, you can be the person who does the convincing. Make your case today:

Karen Finney
DNC Communications Director
