The U.S. Senate has passed many resolutions in the 110th Congress, which is soon coming to a close.

Remember the one about dirt? The Senate recognized soil as an “essential” natural resource. Now dirt is right up there with water and air. Or the Resolution that honored the Ohio State football team for its 800th win, or the one about National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day.

But the one they haven’t passed is Senate Resolution 636, which was introduced on July 31. S.R. 636 is “A resolution recognizing the strategic success of the troop surge in Iraq and expressing gratitude to the members of the United States Armed Forces who made that success possible.”

As of today, there are 33 co-sponsors for Senate Resolution 636. Barack Obama is not a co-sponsor. Max Baucus and Jon Tester are not listed as co-sponsors, either. Sad.

Meanwhile in the House, House Resolution 511, which is a similar resolution has been languishing since early 2007. HR 511 has 183 co-sponsors, including Montana’s Denny Rehberg. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) is not a co-sponsor. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D) and House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D) aren’t either.

Hey Senate and House members: It’s OK to admit the surge worked because it did. It’s also OK to honor the troops, too, because they are doing a tremendous job.

Vets for Freedom has a new video out about Senate Resolution 636:

Besides calling Barack Obama, Montanans should call Max Baucus and Jon Tester and ask them to show their support of the troops.
