Your honorable and moral quest to turn the Congress away from their perpetual war policy is, simply, impossible. All recent history indicates that they are fully invested in this war (and the next, no doubt). War-for-profit as policy and worship of the military is completely enshrined in both parties and will not be obstructed. That's where the money is, and that's where the power resides. The American Experiment has been hijacked and gamed and we are, as they say, a "failed state", albeit in denial.
We have become unapologetic torturers, aggressive warmongers, pathological liars, and anti-intellectual glutons easily distracted, confused and cowed by sound-and-fury circuses, endemic xenophobia and unrestrained greed.
This is Fall-of-the-Roman-Empire time--the criminal gang in charge, with willing complicity by almost all elected officials and their various departments and charges, the obsequious media and, really, most citizens, has bankrupted the American Empire financially and morally--the catastrophic decline and chaos we are seeing and will see is inevitable.
Now, back to more of Rev. Wright and teen sex.

I heard that port workers plan to shut down the west coast ports for 8 hours on May 1st as a war protest. I would take that a step further and use that as a people's filibuster. If we want to light a fire under congress, how about the ports go dark till the war is ended.
