We may disagree or agree on the POTUS tonight, but

I think it is unbelievably important to get the Congress to debate these issues.

I will call as well as e-mail my Senators tomorrow to demand an open debate on the floor.

They have that responsibility and have to act on it now. Will any of you,please, do the same?

I think it is their duty and I want to hear even on the phone how they will wiggle out of that one.

I will even call Senator Reid, just to make a point,

after all, no matter how Obama phrased it, it comes down to war.
