Dear John,

We need you to stand with us -- and we need you to do it now.

In the next 24 to 48 hours, we will go to the Senate floor to press for
passage of the Kerry-Feingold Amendment calling for the redeployment of U.S.
combat troops out of Iraq by a deadline certain. Our country desperately
needs a new vision for strengthening our national security, and it starts by
redeploying U.S. forces out of Iraq so we can wage and win a more effective
war on terror and give Iraqis the best chance to stand up for a stable Iraq.

Tell your Senators: support the Kerry-Feingold Amendment on Iraq
<http://www.johnkerry.com/action/iraq/?sc=e.20060620>

Our troops have served valiantly in Iraq. Under extraordinarily difficult
circumstances, they've done their job. Now, it's time to put the future of
Iraq where it belongs: in the hands of the Iraqi people and their leaders.
And it's time to listen to General George Casey and acknowledge that the
indefinite presence of large numbers of U.S. combat forces in Iraq will
weaken chances of defeating the insurgency and weaken our ability to fight
the global terrorist networks that threaten us today.

In recent days, we've seen Republican leaders in the House and Senate
shamelessly reject the opportunity for a genuine, meaningful debate on Iraq.
They've resorted to a Karl Rove strategy of blindly endorsing President
Bush's failed "stay the course" policy in Iraq and challenging the courage
and patriotism of anyone who dares to point out the disastrous consequences
of their failed approach.

It's time for every Senator to reject the lack of wisdom in their Iraq
policies and the lack of decency in their Iraq politics.

Tell your Senators: support the Kerry-Feingold Amendment on Iraq
<http://www.johnkerry.com/action/iraq/?sc=e.20060620>

We have to reject calls for an unquestioning, open-ended endorsement of
George W. Bush's endless commitment of U.S. troops in Iraq. And we have to
reject the "play it safe" conventional wisdom, inside D.C. punditry that
would have Democrats stand on the sidelines without doing everything in our
power to change policies that we know are deeply flawed and dangerous.

We urge you to tell your Senators that it's time for a new direction. Ask
them to endorse the Kerry-Feingold amendment calling for the redeployment of
combat troops out of Iraq by a hard and fast deadline. Tell them to act for
one simple reason: it's the right thing to do -- for Iraq, and for the
United States.

Tell your Senators: support the Kerry-Feingold Amendment on Iraq
<http://www.johnkerry.com/action/iraq/?sc=e.20060620>

Act now to add your voice to tens of thousands of others from around the
country who are actively supporting the Kerry-Feingold amendment. We'll see
to it that your letter gets delivered to the Senate.
 

This is a critical vote on the most crucial issue facing our country. It's
time for every member of the Senate to send an important message that we
must change course. And it's time for you to demand leadership from those
you have sent to Washington to represent your views.

We urge you to act immediately -- and we thank you for standing with us on
this critical issue.

Sincerely,

Russ Feingold and John Kerry
