Knollenberg announces early. Our work is cut out for us

Obviously our campaign to retire Joe Knollenberg from office has Joe worried. Here we are in July of 2007 and he's already formally announcing his re-election bid. Today is an important day. We will be visiting Joe's office urging Joe to bring an end to the war in Iraq. Joe knows he's in trouble as he is targeted by the Michigan Democratic party, the Democratic Campaign Committee, the Human Rights Campaign and a new national coalition, No Iraq Escalation and grassroots activists.

Joe is so out of touch with his constituents, he continues to vote for funding the war, even though a poll conducted in his district back in February showed that 79% of the respondents were against the surge that has now been carried out.

Residents organize to change Knollenberg's position on Iraq

Residents in Michigan’s Ninth Congressional District met today (Thurs) to urge Congressman Joe Knollenberg to change his position on the Iraq War. The local protest was part of “The Iraq Summer Campaign”…a national effort to withdraw American troops from Iraq. Trent Wisecup is the press secretary for Congressman Knollenberg. He says Knollenberg acknowledges mistakes in Iraq…but believes the troops should come home in victory…and not defeat.“A lot of the people on the other side want to presuppose our defeat in Iraq. And they want to concede defeat now…And the congressman feels that that would be a very bad option for the Unites States…a very bad option for Israel…and a very bad option for political stability in the Middle East.” One protester at today’s (Thurs) event says he does not want his son to fight in what he believes is an unjust war in Iraq. Knollenberg is up for re-election in 2008.
