So are we, Congressman. Miserable might be a better word for it than uncomfortable. Despairing would do as well. This war is illegal, immoral, hopelessly counterproductive on its own terms, and economically catastrophic. You don't need me to tell you any of that. But we don't need you to ask rhetorical questions or delay this any further, which only allows the White House to claim a fait accompli. We need you to refuse to be complicit in this policy.
If you were to refuse to fund this escalation and simultaneously introduce a bill to spend $33 billion on green energy jobs, including for former members of the U.S. military, you would be a national hero and would conclude your career in Congress as such.
I'm not sure if that outweighs for you the brutal treatment you would receive from the president and the "leadership," but in case it helps I'm going to ask all of my friends to write and phone you as well.
Sincerely,
David Swanson
