How much is this war costing you?

We need to be concerned about those that we elect to Congress. Why is it that we see rich people in politics? Should we not get people in there that speak for the common people which are the majority in this country? Our judicial system says we can have a jury of our peers when being tried for a crime but our legislative branch is not a true representation of the majority in this country which is the poor and the middle class.
The Constitution of the United States needs to be revived and revised again to include taking away the deployment of troops without a formal declaration of war away from the president. Let the people after getting all the facts and cost associated with war make the decision. Let the people vote on whether we want to go to war. Also, the individual parties cause separation in the U.S. Let us create solidarity amongst U.S. citizens by doing away with the political parties. Give the power of unity back to the people. Abolish the parties and give the people the voting power to declare war. We are the government.
Say NO to WAR and help revive our failing economy. Changing the face of politics means actually changing the political system. That means we must get rid of the crooks and put in some honest people. I would run for office for a third of what they make in a year. Why aren't they? Doctors, nurses, teachers, policemen, etc. all do their professions because they want to help people and they make far less. Why does our members of Congress make all that money? They should all have to write a memo to the public on what they accomplished at the end of the year. Accomplishments are paid in kind.
Did you know that Congress will be voting tomorrow on refunding the war in Iraq? Call your representatives ASAP and let them know that we, the tax payers, do not want this war.
Today and tomorrow, call the Capitol Hill switchboard at 1-800-473-6711. Ask for the office of your member of the House of Representatives. (If you are not sure who your representative is, use our Congressional Directory.)
Bring our men and women back home where they belong.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in a final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending its money alone, it is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
Dwight Eisenhower, Speech (1953)
