senate repudiates ad
The U.S. Senate just told you to sit down and be quiet.
I will fight back
The U.S. Senate just told you to sit down and be quiet. They passed a resolution condemning MoveOn.org and it has one purpose: to intimidate all of us who care about responsibly ending this war. They wanted to send a message that anyone who speaks unpleasant truths about this war will pay. To make everyone--especially politicians--think twice before they accuse the administration of lying.
We can't let that happen.
“It is a sad day in the Senate when we spend hours debating an ad while our young people are dying in Iraq,” Sen. Chris Dodd

Senate Repudiates MoveOn Ad, Obama Misses Vote
by Klaus Marre
The Senate voted on Thursday to repudiate an ad from MoveOn.org that referred to Gen. David Petraeus as “General Betray Us.” Democratic presidential front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) opposed the measure, while her closest competitor, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), missed the vote.
The Senate approved a resolution condemning the ad and all attacks on members of the military by 72-25.
