One More Push for Letters to the Ed

By Rapid Response

Dear All,

We need lots of letters on this issue over the remaining 2 weeks of the campaign:

Jim Leach has adopted Dave Loebsack's solution for the occupation of Iraq. During the “Talk of Iowa” radio debate a couple of weeks ago, both Dave and Leach were asked about their solution to Iraq. A surprised Dave Loebsack heard Leach for the first time tell moderator Dean Borg that he favored an immediate withdrawal of some troops followed by a phased withdrawal of troops over the next year.   Below:  A 10/17 Register article marks the change in Leach's position.  And, David Yepsen's column, 10/19, has fully integrated Leach's new position.  Don't allow Leach to get away with his heist!! 

Thanks,

Ellen & Trish

On Oct. 17th, in the Register:  “Loebsack: I'm a Democrat, Leach isn't”

“For the first time, Congressman Jim Leach says he supports removing U.S. troops from Iraq within a year.”

On Oct. 19th, David Yepsen's column in the Register in which Leach gave the same answer:

“When the congressman stopped by recently for a meeting with writers and editors here, I put the question to him: What do we do now? He said the United States should begin a troop withdrawal that's completed in “less than a year.”
