GOP Blast's Pelosi/Writes Letter
Dear Speaker Pelosi:
We are writing to urge you to call the House back into session immediately so that Congress can finish its work on the emergency legislation to fund the Global War on Terrorism. This funding request has been pending since February 5, but your leadership team chose to leave town for more than two weeks rather than completing this bill. As a result, our troops have been put at risk.
We are especially troubled by the House's failure to appoint conferees. The Senate appointed conferees on March 29, moments after passing its bill, but the House never did so despite passing the bill a week earlier. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told the Senate that he hoped the House-Senate conference would begin on March 30. That hoped-for progress has been thwarted by your failure to act.
It should go without saying that our military leaders are in the best position to know the needs of our troops, and they have left no doubt that this funding is needed urgently. General Peter Schoomaker, United States Army Chief of Staff, has written that, "without approval of the supplemental funds in April, we will be forced to take increasingly draconian measures which will impact Army readiness and impose hardships on our Soldiers and their families." Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has also emphasized the dangers of delay: "This kind of disruption to key programs will have a genuinely adverse effect on the readiness of the Army and the quality of life for soldiers and their families."
Our troops need this funding, and they need it soon. The Senate is in session and ready to work. We respectfully request that you cancel the remainder of your break, call the House back into session, appoint conferees promptly, and work in good faith to pass a clean supplemental funding bill that the President can sign as soon as possible. Every day we don't fund our troops is a day their ability to fight this war is weakened.

Democratic Senate Armed Services Committee Chief Pledges Continued Funding For Troops in Iraq
WASHINGTON — Top Senate Democrats on Sunday appeared to reject their leader's suggestion that lawmakers set a date for cutting funds off for U.S. troops in Iraq, even as they prepare for a veto from President Bush on a supplemental spending bill that sets a timetable for withdrawal.
Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., said he would not back a plan — to be introduced this week by Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and already endorsed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — to cut off money for the Iraq war effort by March 31, 2008. That's the same date Democrats included in the emergency supplemental spending bill as a target withdrawal for all combat forces.
"We're not going to vote to cut funding, period," Levin said. "But what we should do, and we're going to do, is continue to press this president to put some pressure on the Iraqi leaders to reach a political settlement."
"Nothing — nothing — will stand in our way of supporting the troops in every way," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., acknowledging that President Bush is likely to veto the $122 billion legislation currently on the table.

Democrats are being held hostage by their shrill and getting shriller vocal left wing. They have no choice but to bend to the radical elements that have hijacked the once loyal opposition.
Jenn,
They wont get any pitty out of me, they are the ones who created these loones for instance Al Gore: "Bush Destroyed This Country", He Lied To The American People", and bash bash bash until they created all these far left loones and now THEY have to deal with them.
I'm glad it's not us that have to put up with these freaks, well except when they try to destroy our Memorials and crap.
The Liberals created them now they have to sleep with them lol
I wrote on this same subject in my Sunday Commentary. It is almost treasonalble the way that the Dems are usurping the Constitution and aiding the enemy with their liberal attampts to weaken the Presidency and embolden the enemy with this posr and unconstitutional appropriations bill.
ooops I meant, "PORK and unconstitutional appropriations bill." Twisted fingers syndrome!
Ken,
I know it. They need to get thier butts back up there and fund the Troops period!
This time WITHOUT THE PORK AND TIMETABLE!!!
