The Democratic members of the House of Representatives listed below refuse to cosponsor H. Res 375.

H. Res 375 is a bill introduced to the floor of the United States House of Representatives that demands that President George W. Bush provide all documents related to early plans for the Iraq War.

So, why have the following Democratic members of Congress failed to co-sponsor H. Res 375? Beats me. Why not ask them? Below, next to the name of every Democratic member of Congress, is a telephone number and an email link. Go on and get in touch with your Democratic representative in the House, and demand an answer of your own:

Even Republican Congressman Jim Leach has co-sponsored this bill - why won't you?

Oversight of the executive branch of the federal government is one of the fundamental duties of our representatives in Congress. If our representatives won't even ask for information about the secretive planning for the war, we don't have much hope of ever getting honest answers.

Heck, if these Democrats won't do their job as our representatives and demand answers about the Iraq War, there's not much reason we progressive Democrats should lift a finger for their re-election, is there?

Democrats who have failed to demand answers about the Iraq War from President Bush.

Now for an afterword about us: The citizens of the United States of America. Just as these Democratic members of Congress have the responsibility to conduct thorough oversight of the Bush White House, we have responsibilities of our own.

It is our responsibility to contact our representatives and tell them when we believe that they are not doing enough to meet their responsibilities. If these 158 Democratic politicians are being lazy in their failure to cosponsor H. Res 375, then it is our fault as much as theirs. When our political representatives fail to lead responsibly, then it is our job to lead them back to a responsible course.

Complaining amongst ourselves is not enough. If your member of the House of Representatives is on this list, then please, get in touch and ask him or her to officially cosponsor H. Res 375.
