From an email blast sent to Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) supporting the October 27 protests against the Iraq war:

We had hopes that Congress would have acted by now to bring U.S. troops and private military forces home from Iraq, so we must show them the breadth and depth of antiwar sentiment in this nation.

This reminds us that, while the majority of Democrats in Washington are worthless, there are good people working for change within the Democratic Party.

PDA also has a peace petition:

WE, the undersigned, support the seventy members of Congress who pledged in an open letter delivered to President Bush: "We will only support appropriating funds for U.S. military operations in Iraq during Fiscal Year 2008 and beyond for the protection and safe redeployment of all our troops out of Iraq."

We call on all other members of Congress to join in this pledge.

The Iraq occupation amid a sectarian civil war cannot be won by U.S. military force. No more funds for this occupation, except for the safe redeployment of all troops.

Sign the Petition!
