Over 20 SOA Supporters Lose Their Seats Dear Friends in the Struggle,

Yesterday’s midterm elections results represent a victory for all grassroots
activists working to hold the U.S. Congress accountable for failed policies
and misplaced priorities.  Over 20 of our opponents of the June 2006
amendment have lost their seats in the House surpassing the 15 vote margin
we need to win a vote in Congress.  With this new and more favorable
Congress, we expect a successful vote on the SOA/ WHINSEC.  The next few
months will be a crucial time for SOA Watch as we work to connect with these
new Members of Congress, educate them about this important issue, and urge
them to support closure of the school.

 As we prepare for the upcoming legislative campaign, we also need you to
come to Georgia this November to show Congress that our movement continues
to grow.

 In hope,

Aisha, Christy, Emily, Eric, Hendrik, Joao, Lisa, Pam, and Roy
