Dear Democrats:

Today, California Senate President pro Tem Don Perata unveiled
legislation that would make California the first state in the nation to
call on President Bush to immediately withdraw all U.S. forces from
Iraq. I completely support it!

Frustrated by the Bush administration's failure to end the war after
more than four years, Senator Perata announced plans to place the
advisory measure on California's statewide ballot as part of next year's
February 5 presidential primary.

The text of the resolution is as follows:

"The people of California, in support of the men and women serving in
the Armed Forces of the United States, urge President Bush to end the
U.S. occupation of Iraq and immediately begin the safe and orderly
withdrawal of all United States forces; and further urge President Bush
and the United States Congress to provide the necessary diplomatic and
non-military assistance to promote peace and stability in Iraq and the
Middle East."

"We've had nearly 3,300 Americans killed and spent more than $350
billion, with no end in sight," Senator Perata said. "We've established
a democratic government in Iraq, now it's up to the Iraqis to make it
work. With the possible exception of George Bush, we all know it's time
to go."
