The troop withdrawal bill may have the votes in the House, but will not have the necessary 2/3 majority in the Senate to override Bush's presidential veto, so it most likely isn't going to happen anyway.

Know your representatives. If your representatives are fence-straddling or if they are still for the war, then write them.

As we know, recently the electorate wisely put more Democrats in office to rein-in Bush/Cheney's reign of terror somewhat, but unfortunately, we also failed to put quite enough Democrats into office to truly address the runaway power of the Executive branch.
