Washington has a lot of money. It has trillions for war, but no money for housing. Money for war, but no money for health care. Money for war, but no money for education. Money for war - no money to rebuild our cities. No money to create jobs, but money for war.
The Democrats took control of the Congress in 2006 with a promise to end the War in Iraq and it's not enough for this Administration to slow-walk the end of the war, which could continue for years to come. And it's not enough for a Democratic Administration to escalate a war in Afghanistan at a time when there's no clear objective and no end in sight of the contribution of blood and treasure, to a region which has never been conquered by any foreign country.
It's time that we take a stand as citizens. And it's also time to force Congress to take it's Constitutional responsibility seriously. Article 1, Section 8 requires that Congress has the war-making power. It is absolutely imperative that Congress be required to assert it's responsibility on behalf of the American people. Congress is directly elected by the people. And Congress has to respond and step up to it's responsibility to decide if we're going to stay at war in Afghanistan. And so, soon, Rep. Dennis Kusinich (Dem-Ohio) will bring to the Floor of the House a Privileged Resolu
tion which will force a vote as to whether or not we stay in Afghanistan. Support this crazy little man!

It's like everything. The government tricks people into believing we have no money but people forget, war is expensive, why do we have money for that?
Not that long ago I met a polish gay man who later became a famous photographer for vogue and such. Well he lived here in the states for a long time but because he did not want to pay taxes to fund the vietnam and such wars he left.
He made a good point that day. "its my money. I want to put it where I want it to go."
Though it seems outside the box its not.
People have the power. right?
