clipped from: www.dailykos.com By the largest margin yet in favor of redeployment, the House approved the Responsible Redeployment from Iraq act today by a vote of 223-201. Your calls helped make the difference, so to those of you who called, thank you.
Here's Speaker Pelosi's statement in support of the act:
"Passage of Chairman Skelton’s bipartisan bill will reflect the will of the American people and reaffirm the judgment of the House that the redeployment of our troops is a central element and an effective way forward in Iraq. We will repeat that judgment legislatively as often as necessary, hopefully with an increasing level of support from our Republican colleagues, until pressure from the American people causes the President to change his mind and change his policy. Tho those who urge that we wait until September, I say that it has been four and a half years and a half a trillion dollars at least - we have already waited too long."
