I wish they would forget about their need to be re-elected for once and think about what is happening to the people! They are supposed to represent our views and act upon them. Congress has the power to act by cutting off the funds for this war but so far they have been afraid to use that power. I am at a loss on how to get Congress to do its job. Self-interest always seems to win out in the end. ...Stan The Dems in congress keep getting my hopes up only to dash them.
