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.  I signed the pledge.

Conservatives blocked measures, but liberals were intent on having a vote.

On February 16, 2007, the House passed a non-binding resolution opposing President Bush and Gen. Petraeus' troop surge plan.  I made the pledge cover the houses decision.  Seventeen Republicans voted for the non-binding resolution, they will not receive from me financial help if and when they are up for re-election.  And if the NRSC cannot guarantee my money will not be used to financially help them in re-election, the NRSC will not receive financial help from me.

On February 18, 2007, the Senate non-binding resolution is blocked by "the GOP".  Because of John Warner of Virginia, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Susan Collins of Maine, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Olympia Snowe of Maine, and Norm Coleman of Minnesota and the NRSC will not receive financial help because of their yea vote for this resolution.

I want victory:

Our Mission
Deliver the perspectives and news on the war effort which the mainstream media neglects to help the American public understand the nature of our conflict and its true progress

Provide tools and infrastructure to help citizens who are committed to victory organize into a recognized and influential caucus

Identify opportunities for the caucus to act and exert influence on America’s leaders and to directly aid and support the men and women of our military

Our Beliefs
We support victory in the war against radical Islamists.

We supported the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and we believe victory is necessary in both countries for America's self-defense.

We believe that the radical regime in Iran, while not representative of the Iranian people, is a menace and that it cannot be allowed to obtain or build nuclear weapons.

We believe that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization that has killed hundreds of Americans and which waged war against Israel in violation of every law of war this past summer, and will do so again in the future.

We believe Israel is our ally and friend and deserves the full assistance of the United States in its battle with radical Islamists.

We believe that Israel has repeatedly shown its willingness to negotiate a just and lasting peace, but that its enemies do not want peace, but the destruction of Israel.

We believe that the American military is the finest in the world and indeed in history, well led and superbly trained, and populated at every level by America's best and brightest.

We support the troops, and those organizations which assist the wounded in their recoveries and support the families of those who sacrificed everything.

We support leaders who support victory.
