On January 10, 2007,
President Bush outlined his new plans for Iraq, including a troop increase.
On January 26, 2007,
the United States Senate unanimously confirmed Lt. Gen. David H. Petraeus, to be General.
Soon
after, the Senate started talks to pass a non-binding resolution
opposing President Bush and Gen. Petraeus' plans for a troop surge of
20,000+ troops.
It was with this, I signed
the pledge:
"If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or
otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq
that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged,
and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on
January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the
enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for
the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a
resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not
contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the
Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that
none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any
senator supporting the non-binding resolution."
