Well Done!

Way to go, Jerry, I'm glad you voted against the bill - you took a stand for what is right.

While I too am disappointed in our Congress in its failure to hold the administration accountable, I was pleased with your vote.

Getting out of Iraq, along with alternative energy actions that reduce our dependence on enemy-provided oil are my biggest priorities and you are a leader on both fronts. As a result, I donated additional money to your re-election campaign (I know its early) but I believe that positive actions speak louder than negative words.

I am bitterly disappointed in Congress' performance, and the fact that the slaughter in Iraq will continue, enabled by Democrats who are either too stupid, corrupt and/or ignorant to stand up for what a majority of the American people want - and end to the occupation.

Congratulations to Jerry for having the courage to vote against this toxic bill.

Thank you for trying to hold the President accountable and not giving him a blank check.

You voted the only reasonable way you could.

Thank you!
Jim

Good show, Jerry! You are staying the right and moral course to end the war. You are fighting the true enemies of peace here -- so we don't have to fail fighting the wrong enemy over there. You are supporting democracy here -- rather than the illusion of it in Bushland, aka Iraq.

I appreciate that you do not see one vote as simple winning or losing, but stages on the path to abandoning the madness of targeting victory in Iraq. Until we overcome Bushthink, the terrorists will continue to count the victories. It's amazing what our stupidity hands vicious terrorists on a plate.

Keep the faith as you have kept ours.

Thank you for voting against another blank check, Jerry. We need to elect more people who have the courage to say "NO!" when they see wrong being done.

Thank you for your "no" vote on funding for Iraq. Public opinion is solidly against continuing this conflict, where we are creating new enemies faster than we can defend against them. I applaud your moral and political courage.

Thank you, Jerry, for walking your talk (And voting NO on the Iraq bill). THank you, that's all.

I often hear that Americans voted for change in November 2006, and it was certainly true for me, a political conservative who has felt betrayed by the Republican party. Yet aside from holding people like Alberto Gonzales accountable for their past actions, I see little change, and this is confirmed by this latest action by congress. I completely support your voting against this legislation, and appeal to you to continue to vote for what's right over what's politically expedient. I hope that Speaker Pelosi will one day see her that political expediency does not pay, or will pay for not seeing this.
