Still Time To Make Congress Stop Bush On Iran
The House emergency supplemental bill is being marked up in the Appropriations Committee tomorrow. So there's still a chance to get the language prohibiting Bush from attacking Iran without congressional approval back in the bill. True Majority is asking members (and anyone else) to tell their representative to do this.
After you've sent the email, you should also call your representative at (202) 224-3121. If they're on the Appropriations Committee, tell them to put the language back in. If they're not, tell them to ask their colleagues who are to do so.

Posted by: Mike Meyer at March 14, 2007 07:13 PMNo way, Mike Meyer...my rep is Barbara Cubin. I love to write to her. Her response always says in essence that I shouldn't worry my pretty little head, as the world really is better off in the hands of these sociopathic madmen. Then she winds it up with that kumbaya, joy to the world finish of hers. It's very uplifting!
Anyway, I can't be bothered with all this worry over endless war and all. I am down in the basement designing my methane collection trousers.
Bwa ha ha, Jonathan. Thanks for the book.
