<p>Hi,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The House vote and capitulation yesterday seems to leave no hope. With talking points necessary for Iraq Moratorium actions today I needed talking points for this afternoon. I have researched the situation and this is what I have so far..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The war funding bill passed the House in 2 sections (one civilian, one military). It is different from the Senate version. (details below in 2nd url) We can call for a filibuster; it takes 41 votes to stop the bill. It gives us something positive and doable. </p>

<p>Bill was voted in 2 parts and going to Senate (from SF Chron)</p>
