Help give LIEberman his walking papers

We can not afford to wait till after the election...Joe Lieberman needs to go NOW.

We CANNOT tolerate a leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus who supports George Bush and McCain's War in Iraq. We CANNOT tolerate a Democratic chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee who endorses and stumps for McCain. We call on the Senate Democratic Steering Committee to strip Joe Lieberman of his chairmanship and his leadership role.

Please sign up and join the over 30,000 people who are demanding that Lieberman be stripped of his seniority NOW.
