This wouldn’t do me any good whatsoever

But maybe some of you out there could do some good with it.

I live in California, and my Senators are Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein, so they wouldn’t care less if I withhold any fundraising contributions from Republican candidates. However, most of the rest of you can put this to good use.

If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an encouragement to the enemy, I will not contribute to any Republican senator who voted for the resolution. Further, if any Republican senator who votes for such a resolution is a candidate for re-election in 2008, I will not contribute to the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless the Chairman of that Committee, Senator Ensign, commits in writing that none of the funds of the NRSC will go to support the re-election of any senator supporting the non-binding resolution.

Go over and sign the Pledge.
