It seems that Michael Arcuri is considering whether he will side with the Republicans, against the Democrats, on the resolution to end the Iraq War. No kidding.
From the MoveOn message:
"Dick Cheney and his allies in Congress are on an all-out assault—saying that Democrats are "undermining the troops" by trying to end the war.1 And some Democrats are wavering.
Can you call Rep. Arcuri and tell him that you want our troops home safely this year? They won't vote until next week so we still have time to affect the final plan and your call could make all the difference.
Congressman Michael Arcuri
Phone: 202-225-3665"
"Some representatives are afraid. They're nervous about taking any measures to end the war. It's a political calculation—they don't want to "own" the war, they want it to be Bush's problem. That's a failure of leadership: How do you tell our troops that they're being asked to fight and die because Democrats don't want to "own" the war?"
Could this be the same Michael Arcuri who used the aw shucks story about talking to his son about ending the war in Iraq while campaigning last year? Yup, same guy. Apparently, Arcuri is having a very different conversation with his son now: A conversation about flip-flopping.
I wonder, how do the Utica Democrats feel now about putting this guy in Congress?
If you're a Democrat who voted for Michael Arcuri, give his office a phone call at 202-225-3665, and remind him what he was elected to do.

I've e-mailed him, I've blogged about it, called his new Auburn office. Me and my Dad are going down to Washington D.C. this weekend to join the protest. I'm pissed. I think the people of the 24th district need to start camping out on his offices front door step. This is not what he was sent down there to do.
P.S. Good to see you back.
