Cindy Sheehan makes some excellent points in this open letter to Congress. The Democrats were put into power after 6 years of total Republican control of the House and Senate primarily because the voters wanted them to end this war honourably. They have the vast majority of the country on the side of ending the war and cutting off Bush's blank check. Now that they had the chance to do it, they flubbed it and gave Bush what he wanted with the suggestion of "wait 'til next time." The public, I sense, is tired of waiting, and they do not see why the Democrats folded like a house of cards when they finally have the power to do something towards bringing this war to a close.

Amen, Cindy. I can't believe that nothing was done. For your son, the other countless men and women, both civilizan and military, who have died during this conflict and all those currently serving, including 2 family members of mine, something should have been done a long time ago about this

You go, Cin!! My heart goes with you, and so does my vote!!!

Sad for America.
