Troops add their voices to chorus calling for reversal of Iraq policy

Meanwhile, the group Progressive States Network planned a conference call on Wednesday with state legislators to try to start a grassroots campaign opposing the president's troop buildup plan. "States have the power and authority to speak out on issues that will impact them and their citizens," Steve Doherty and David Sirota, chairmen of the group, said in a statement. The influential Web-based pressure group MoveOn.org is urging citizens to write their state lawmakers as well.
