Message:	Dear Friend, Just who is President Bush listening to? It's not his generals on the front line -- leaders like former Central Command head John Abizaid, who said he does "not believe that more American troops right now is the solution to the problem." It's not independent experts like the bipartisan Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group, which concluded that "the United States must not make an open-ended commitment to keep large numbers of American troops deployed in Iraq." According to Vice President Cheney last Sunday, it won't be Congress -- because the United States "cannot run a war by committee." But there's one group determined to make their voices heard: Americans like you. So far, tens of thousands of citizens have signed Senator Ted Kennedy's petition demanding that the people's representatives in Congress vote on the Administration's plan to escalate the war in Iraq.

By escalating the war, we are repeating the colossal blunders of the Vietnam War. Thousands more of our men and women in uniform will pay the ultimate price for this mistake.
