I'm going.

I get email updates from my local Congressman: George Miller and he wrote:

Iraq Update: As you may know, the President has chosen to ignore the will of the American people, the opinion of his own military advisors and a majority of the U.S. Congress by pushing for the escalation of his failed strategy in Iraq. Congress must force the president to change course in Iraq and we are taking the first steps to accomplish that critical goal. I will keep you informed as this issue develops

Also - as of this morning there was this:
Sen. John Warner, the former GOP chairman and influential member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is set to introduce a second resolution Monday that expresses criticism of President Bush's call for a troop increase in Iraq, a move Bush Administration officials have scrambled to avoid.

and then there is Pelosi ...

When I addressed my colleagues and the nation after receiving the Speaker's gavel, I talked about the war and the need for a new direction to the applause of many Republicans. When I talked about the responsible redeployment of our troops, a standing ovation pervaded throughout the House, and certainly not just Democrats. This isn't just about Democrats; this is about the American people. They are watching to see what difference this election can make. The President ought to heed their message. We should not be obliged to an open-ended war, and as Speaker, I can assure you that the days of the blank check for President Bush in Iraq are over.

On Iraq and on all of these issues, there is a palpable feeling in the halls of Congress, one that I hope all who read this are sensing as well: Progress is possible again.

So...I'm glad you're going, you're not alone in your views, and there are some powerful people already in congress to back you up. May you all prevail.
