While this is true I don't think we should not call for it and use it as an=
 opportunity to educate people to what a true anti-war senator would do and=
 that there is a move that is not being done. If the vote is not done befor=
e the weekend maybe the National Anti-war Assembly in Cleveland can take it=
 up and issue the call.=A0 http://www.natassembly.org/
