Let them know exactly where you stand. This is the pledge:
If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.
Copy the pledge and send it to:
NRSC
Ronald Reagan Republican Center
425 2nd Street, NE
Washington, DC 20002
202.675.6000

Hugh Hewitt also suggests that you email Senator McConnell and Senator Ensign, and tell them too. Calling them isn’t a bad idea either. Senator McConnell’s phone number is (202) 224-2541. Senator Ensign’s phone number is (202) 224-6244.
My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy: I don’t even care if you want to copy this post in its entirety to yours, just get the word out. And WRITE/CALL the NRSC and Senate Republican leadership to put a stop to this bullshit appeasement! It has nothing to do with the war, and everything to do with self-preservation!
7.62mm Justice: Might as well hit up your local Senators as well.
Blue Crab Boulevard: I have already signed on. I ask my readers to consider doing the same. I’ll go one better on the pledge. I WILL actively work against any Republican up for reelection who votes for a resolution - like Chucky “Dead to me” Hagel did. If our politicians are too stupid to see what kind of message they are sending to the world with their grandstanding, then they do not have the best interests of this country in mind and do not deserve to stay in office. The only way to attract a politician’s attention these days is to threaten their pocketbook.

Just make sure you send another pledge to all the dems, telling them you won’t support them taking away our guns.

More than that, severely censure all those who vote for the resolution so it takes effect while they’re still in office. Then ship over to Iraq after we bring the troops home like they want.
They are all so two-faced, it is disgusting they represent this great nation.
