I want to thank the more than 36,000 of you who signed our petition asking President Bush not to veto the Supplemental Appropriations Bill. A bipartisan majority in Congress voted to fully fund our troops and change the mission in Iraq. The President refused to sign the bill into law. That is his right, but now he has an obligation to explain his plan to responsibly end this war.
President Bush may be content with keeping our troops mired in the middle of an open-ended civil war, but I am not; and neither are most Americans.
In the coming days Democrats will continue to reach out to the President. And we hope Congressional Republicans, who have remained silent throughout this debate will work with us as well.
If President Bush thinks by vetoing this bill he will stop us from working to change the direction of this war, he is mistaken.
Thank you for your continued support

The Democrats failed in their mission. Not only failed, but continued to fund the war without restrictions.
Henceforth, no more campaign donations to Democrats.
No more volunteering to work Democratic campaigns.
I don't have an answer for bringing the war to an end. But, then, neither do the Democrats we trusted.
