Call both of your Senators right now through the Senate switchboard operator and make sure they support your message:(202) - 244-3121Please report after your calls:http://www.DemocracyforAmerica.com/CallReport Petraeus claimed a 75% reduction of violence since the surge started and used multiple cherry-picked statistics to spin the White House's case. How did they cook the books? For starters, they changed the definition of violence:The Los Angeles Times reports that people killed in car bombings don't count.¹ The Washington Post reports that victims shot in the face don't count.² The Center for Strategic and International Studies reports that Shi'a vs. Shi'a and Sunni vs. Sunni violence doesn't count.³It is offensive that our commander-in-chief has ordered a four-star general to mislead Congress. But it will be criminal if Congress follows along.After you call both of your Senators, please report your call:http://www.DemocracyforAmerica.com/CallReportRepublicans can claim that funding withdrawal hurts the troops, but America
