From: "Rich Gauszka" First they blamed the press now the Bushies will probably blame the insidious nature of Wisconsin cheese http://www.chippewa.com/articles/2006/04/04/ap-state-wi/d8gplcfo5.txt 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. --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5* Origin: Barktopia BBS Site http://HarborWebs.com:8081 (1:379/45) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 379/45 1 633/267 |
