Rep. Mike Rogers is coming back to Michigan after a hard session in our nation's Capitol voting against health care for children and in support of the war in Iraq.
Organizers of the Iraq Summer campaign plan to welcome Rogers home for the August recess with a rally at noon on Tuesday (August 7, 2007) at Rogers' Lansing office, 1327 E. Michigan Avenue.
Field organizer Mike Webb says the idea is to make Rogers "feel the heat" for his position in favor of the escalation of troops in Iraq.
Webb says the group wants to make the point that while American troops continue to be shot at, the Iraqi government is going on vacation instead of getting to work hammering out the compromises necessary to meet major milestones for moving Iraq forward.
Volunteers are asked to wear Hawaiian shirts and sunglasses, conjuring up the idea of vacationing lawmakers.
Military Moms for Peace is a co-sponsor of the event.
