 Democrats Night Rally Wake Up, America. Democrats keep Congress in session all night. Demand Up or Down Vote on Iraq. Video (4min 30sec) of Majority Leader Reid, Speaker Pelosi and others speaking at a rally/vigil outside the Capitol during the all-night Senate filibuster of Iraq withdrawal legislation.
"To our Republican leaders who refuse to allow an up or down vote on the Levin-Reid amendment, we say 'Wake Up.' To our Republican senators who know the war is going badly bud who are still voting for this president's surge, we say, 'Wake Up." And to the Bush administration who has failed our veterans and their families at home, we say 'Wake Up.' We're gonna wake up the senate. We're gonna wake up the White House. We're gonna wake up this country. And we're gonna stay up all night long until they vote with us. That's why we're here. Wake Up, America." - Senator Patty Murray (D-Washington).
Senators Harry Reid, Carl Levin, Charles Schumer, Dick Durbin, and Patty Murray with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and Representatives Patrick Murphey, John Lewis. |
