If we expect our nation's elected officials to take us seriously, let
us send a powerful message they cannot misunderstand. Let them know we
really do have our moral breaking point. Let them know we have drawn a
bright line. Let them know they cannot take our support for granted
that, regardless of their party and regardless of other political
considerations, they will not have our support if they cannot provide, and have
not provided, principled leadership.

The people of this nation may have been far too quiet for five years,
but let us pledge that we won't let it go on one more day that we will
do all we can to put an end to the illegalities, the moral degradation,
and the disintegration of our nation's reputation in the world.

Let us be unified in drawing the line in declaring that we do have a
moral breaking point. Let us insist, together, in supporting our troops
and in gratitude for the freedoms for which our veterans gave so much
that we bring our troops home from Iraq , that we return our government
to a constitutional democracy, and that we commit to honoring the
fundamental principles of human rights.

In defense of our country, in defense of our Constitution, in defense
of our shared values as Americans and as moral human beings we declare
today that we will fight in every way possible to stop the insanity,
stop the continued military occupation of Iraq, and stop the moral
depravity reflected by the kidnapping, disappearing, and torture of people
around the world.
