7. In 2008, the American people made it clear to our Reps that we did not want more war.

We elected Obama and the Congressional elections turned into a rout.

Obama and our elected Representatives in Congress knew it at the time. It was in the news.

And yet, here we are once again.

Unless the Republicans really join in blocking this, and the support for war by Pelosi et al., I wouldn't place too much stock in our own party's Representatives stopping this.

There's too much money to be made. There are too many opportunities to point out, "But, but, the Republicans are worse."
