Woke up to a ringing phone in the middle of the night. I didn't answer it. No message this morning. I could not get back to sleep, so I played on the computer for a bit and wandered back to bed around 4:00. Now, I'm tired. I probably should not have fed my addiction to Daria and Degrassi last night.

Dear MoveOn member,

President Bush demonstrated in his speech to the United Nations yesterday that he's still unwilling to admit anything's wrong in Iraq, or to seriously ask for help in rebuilding it. With an $87 billion request for more Iraq funds on the table, we need Congress to make the President face up to the facts. Help us reach 250,000 signers on our petition calling on Congress to hold the President and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld accountable at:

http://www.moveon.org/firerumsfeld/

We're already at 196,000 signers -- if you sign yourself and pass this message on to friends, we can make it to 250,000 by the end of the week.
