It's time for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. But if it's left up to President Bush, Iraq won't be stable enough for U.S. troops to withdraw until Halliburton, Bechtel, and a select few other multi-nationals have reaped the maximum profit. The case for immediate withdrawal is simple and plain. Just a few facts: Iraq didn't have suicide bombers until the occupation started. "

One proponent said

Folks really turned out to precinct caucuses last night and the energy was good! It's a good thing too because we will need a maximum effort to take the Governor's Office, the U.S. Senate seat, the House, the Secretary of State's Office, the State Auditor, and everything else. It really feels like Democrats are ready to come together around fairness, equal opportunity, and peace. I heard that
