First they blamed the press now the Bushies will probably blame the
insidious nature of Wisconsin cheese

MILWAUKEE - It was a purely symbolic message but a heartfelt one. Thousands
of voters turned out in Wisconsin communities large and small to tell
President Bush to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq.

By margins overwhelming in some places and narrow in others, voters in 24
of 32 communities approved referendums Tuesday calling for the immediate
withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.


Joy Kenworthy, 78, of Madison, doesn't mind that the nonbinding referendums
have no bearing on federal policy. She was one of more than 24,300 voters
in the state capital who gave 68 percent support to a referendum calling
for the immediate withdrawal of troops.

She said she's sick of watching young men and women dying in Iraq and the
government spending billions of dollars on war.

"I thought this war was ill-advised from the moment it started," she said.

Voters in Madison, the Milwaukee suburbs of Shorewood and Whitefish Bay,
the western city of La Crosse and the northern city of Ladysmith were among
those approving a pullout.
