Our Congresswoman has done nothing on Iraq during her tenure in the house.
So on Sunday, the Peace People (MFSO, the Peace Partners and friends) paid a little visit on the Party People (Lake Co Dems, McHenry Co Dems and EDDI) in hopes of having a dialog with the Congresswoman about her record on Iraq.
Well with 8 well behaved (and smiling) Peace People, 4 signs, 1 pair of empty boots and a bunch of flowers, the Peace People appeared to have frightened the Congresswoman off...before she spoke at her own event even. Perhaps it was because she didn't have anything to say about 2,631 empty pair of boots...and the lives that have been shattered by the loss of those who wore them. After all, it is a tough thing to tell voters you are doing your job as US citizens die everyday in a war of choice that you voted to support in June.
One of my Gold Star Mom friends tells me her son was murdered by the Bush Administration and Congress...they sent him to war in a helicopter that was meant for civilian use...not for use in combat. He was in the National Guard.
The Party People tell us it is all about getting Democrats elected. The Peace People believe it is all about ending this war of choice before one more kid dies. And taking care of those Troops who return promptly, appropriately and with the same dedication they have shown to us.
The Congresswoman says nothing. I guess given her voting record on Iraq, she really can't say too much.
