George Bush Gave Up Golf For You

George Bush says golf just isn't worth it anymore with people dying in the war he began. This man started a war for the purpose of forcing his brand of global capitalism on the Middle East, and the best he can do is give up golf while our boys are dying in the desert?! 

In case you're wondering, both of my opponents support the war. Melissa Bean vocally supported it during her initial run for Congress and still approves funding for it. Steve Greenberg apparently believes GW is on the right track in a war that we lost as soon as we crossed the border.

Redundancy is apparently required

Apparently we need a Constitutional amendment to clarify the United States Constitution. According to Article 8, only Congress may declare war. They still haven't declared war in Iraq, but they readily admit we are fighting a war there, and most of them support the war. 

Our Congressperson, Melissa Bean, continually votes to continue funding the war, even though she is fully aware that the ONLY way to end the war is to quit funding it.

We got in this ridiculous position because Congress said that the President could decide when and if we should invade Iraq. Congress DOES NOT have that authority. The Constitution clearly states that Congress, and only Congress, can decide if we should go war.

I propose a Constitutional amendment to clarify this power and specifically state that Congress cannot be cowards and pass the buck.

In case you were wondering, Melissa Bean supported the invasion while running for Congress.
