OT: War Bill, write your congress......

[Dracus]

Please write your senator and Reps.

Tell them to vote for H.R. RES. 62 and S.J.Res.23 (senate as already passed S.J. RES. 23, they still need to vote on H.R. RES. 62)
Declaring a state of war between the United States and international terrorists and their sponsors.

Thank you for your time.

You can find your Reps at http://www.house.gov/
and your sentor at www.senate.gov

Heh. The senate passed SJR 23 by a vote of 98-0. Zero Senators voted against.

I don't think you need to write and convince anyone to vote for it.

Her vote wasn't against taking action - but to remind Mr.Bush that he has to go through Congress next time there needs to be military action.

Listen carefully to her speech.

I commend her for standing up and not letting emotions take full control of the situation.

While I want the terrorists to be killed/captured - I don't more innocent people to suffer - whether they are American or Afghani or whatever.

Destroying some third world despot country will not bring back the victims of this tragedy.

Your right on the deaths, but waging a war to find and wipe out terrorist should be a key priority now. Sad it had to come to this to do it.

I think any war on Terrorism needs to be done in two phases..

To quote a Roman...

"First our Neighbors, then the World."

Since we are quoting Romans, let us go back an have a look at a Greek. Plato (I believe) had some interesting things to say about how crisis situations could lead a democracy to elect a tyrant, feeling it was the best thing for them to do. When the crisis past, they found it was tough to get the powers they had given away back. Thus, the end of the democracy.

I would be interested to know the name of the Congresswoman who was so bold to stand and remind both the politicians and the people that one of the strengths of America is that it is a free and open society where the head of state is, and must be, accountable to the people. The 40 billion dollars voted to the effort is a lot of money. The legality of wire taps are being reviewed. Has America voted away some of it�s freedoms?

The crisis must be responded to, as quickly and as efficiently as possible. However, it must be done in a way which preserves the essential nature of America. Unity is good, but questioning is also good. America has many long and respected traditions to maintain, a real challenge in times of crisis.
