I've been a Democrat since 1984 and have been politically active periodically since then from working against Contra Aid to working to stop the war on terror. I'm a mere Irish-American, a retired bank examiner, and a former Marine.

House Un-American Activity - San Diego County Representatives
(1 comments) Last year 288 members of the House of Representatives voted against the US Constitution. Unbelievable? No. They voted against requiring Mr. Bush to get Congressional approval for an attack on Iran. Bush must not be allowed to attack another sovereign nation without Congressional approval in violation of Article 1, Sect. 8.11 of the US Constitution. This issue transcends all others until such legislation is passed.

Olmert and Bush may join Saddam Hussein in the ranks of unprovoked aggressors who have attacked Iran, and the perpetual war will continue.
