"Light 'Em Up for the Webb Amendment"
http://openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1435

This legislation gives reasonable deployment breaks to soldiers so the military doesn't break, and it has bipartisan support. Last time we got 56 votes for this, and with Tim Johnson it's 57. We only need three more to break with the Republicans to get this to pass. Senator Webb explains his amendment to the internets and why it's important to take action.

This isn't about whether you support the war against Iraq or not, this is about humane treatment of the troops that have to deal with the shit no matter what is decided.

Constituents should call their senators and tell them to support Webb's amendment. More details can be found at the link.
