Congress is about to send an important bill to the White House—it would require the president to start bringing our troops home from Iraq this year. President Bush has said repeatedly he's going to veto it. It's outrageous. Most Americans support a timeline and he's standing in the way.

This will be a pivotal moment on Iraq—it's not clear what Congress or the president will do after the veto. We need to make clear that President Bush is really vetoing the will of the American people. And we need to tell Congress to hold firm.

There are already more than 200 rallies planned across the country.

The following is a message from the Ed C., host of Protect The Troops-Veto Bush, the Emergency Veto Rally

Dear Citizens,

First off I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for helping at this progressive event. I truly believe "Democracy is not a spectator Sport"

A few ground rules and then I hope everyone has fun at the rally.

1.) No extraneous signs will be allowed. i.e., Impeach Bush, Buck Fush, etc...........

MoveOn.Org has made it crystal clear that we have on average 7 seconds to get our message across to the public. To that end I would ask you all to please stay on the message. I have gone to some small expense to have these 8 signs made up and they are of high quality.

2.) There will be only one media spokesperson at this event and it will be Ed.

3.) If you could arrive a few minutes early I'd appreciate it. I will be parked on the Southeast corner of the Sears parking lot in a big Red Dodge Ram with camper cover. Signs will be in the back of my truck.

See you all there and let’s start to help take back this Democracy of ours! The greatest public office one can hold is that of Citizen.
