Ten Democratic challengers have joined forces with top military generals to create “A Responsible Plan For Ending The War In Iraq,” a document Brig. Gen. John Johns describes as a “well reasoned… broad framework for getting out of Iraq responsibly.” The list of challengers who have embraced the Responsible Plan now include:
Darcy Burner (WA-08)
Jared Polis (CO-02)
Donna Edwards (MD-04)
Eric Massa (NY-29)
Chellie Pingree (ME-01)
Tom Perriello (VA-05)
George Fearing (WA-04)
Larry Byrnes (FL-14)
Steve Harrison (NY-13)
Sam Bennett (PA-15)
Monday at 2:30PM PT, Darcy Burner and her fellow “Responsible Challengers” will introduce the Responsible Plan at the Take Back America conference in Washington D.C.; the event will be live streamed on Burner’s website, here on HA, and on dozens of websites nationwide. In addition to drawing down US forces, the Responsible Plan calls for a diplomatic, political and economic surge to help establish stability in Iraq and the surrounding region, addressing humanitarian concerns created by our invasion and occupation, restoring our constitution, our military and the independence of our media, and creating a US-centered energy policy that eliminates our dependence on oil.
This is an ambitious plan, particular coming from a group of congressional challengers, and these candidates deserve to be rewarded for their leadership. To this end a new Act Blue page has been created — Responsible Challengers — where you can show your support either by giving to the individual challengers of your choice, or by splitting your contribution evenly across the entire slate. If you’re unhappy with failure of Congress to move decisively toward ending the war, send a message by showing support challengers who have shown their willingness to take this issue into their own hands.
Please give today, and tune in tomorrow for the release of the Responsible Plan.
Certainoly sounds interesting. McC, Obama, and Hillary all have become so compromised by pandering that the issue of the wat has become hard to follow.
The next step is a tour by the candidates in Iraq and then establishing a Responsible Government in Exile to counter the do nothings in DC.
What TV channel?
me @3,
The event will be live streamed over the Internet. I’ll embed a the streaming player in a post on HA, so you can watch it here, around 2:30PM PT.

Looks like Brig. Gen. John Johns RET. is running out of things to do or some spiked his Oatmeal. The list of challengers who have embraced the Responsible Plan. Is that all they have. Would you want them running this country. If so arm your self’s
GEE WONDER IF DARCY WILL GET TOGETHER WITH HER LAWYER AND FIGURE OUT HOW HER LAWSUIT IS GOING TO COST HER.
Gee, I wonder if Sharruf Dave is going to pay back the stolen money he used in his 2006 campaign. You know, the money from the RNC that came out of the fraudulently obtained 8,000,000 loan.
Now that is real Republican Values. Need money? Steal it.
If Darcy’s one of the experts; what’s the topic…term papers, feminist studies, socialism…
yawn, seriously, must be worthless if Darcy is included….
Goldy it appears that your left wing nuts now have a plan, now do plan to share it with the public? No? Maybe your plan is a big white flag and how many more will die? The folks that your plan to surrender to think likes Pol Plot and repeat history again like the time we abandon Viet Nam? Your General friend has abandoned the battle field many years ago and lacks the necessary skills to fight the type of war in Iraq. But then the bumper sticker you display on your car really did free Tibet. Yes how many will die with your retreat? Remember the killing fields of Cambodia!
WONDER HOW LONG AGO THIS BG RETIRED ANYONE KNOW.AND A NAVY CAPTIN NOW IM REALLY IMPRESSED NOT.
BG JOHNS RETIRED IN 1978. DARCY GIVE IT A REST.YOU BETTER WORRY HOW MUCH YOUR LAW SUIT IS GOING TO COST YOU.MAYBE YOU CAN PAY IT WITH THE MONEY YOU WILL HAVE AFTER YOU LOSE IN NOVEMBER.
