There is not War in Iraq

Congress failed to pass a war resolution.
Thus, qualifying the present occupation of Iraq as an illegitimate act war, which is intrinsically anti-American and breaches the Constitution.
The Constitution states and grants to the people's House of Representatives the only right to enact and act in legal war actions.
What we have in Iraq is an ongoing occupation, clearly an unconstitutional act by the President.
The members of the House of Representatives for decades have stopped exercising and claiming the rights of citizens grant in the Constitution. This includes a vote for a series of laws under the titles of The Patriot Acts, without even reading the content.
The indecent stance of the House Members is summa pauper in this case.
No only they failed to read the law or even spend one minute debating such usurpation of people's freedoms. Coump the egregious behavior by the use of talking points to justify anything that has come from the present leadership. Radicals as Rove never found better allies than the majority elected democrats. Isn;t that scary!!!
When we hear "freedom is not free," clearly is not, we have lost a large amount of freedom and we are paying dearly for those loses.
These Orwellian titled laws seem to be a present habit and it is the most damming piece of biased absolutist legislation since the McCarthy era. It contains the most destructive provisions damming freedom and civil rights in America.

House members by consenting in some cases or by coalescent behavior in other cases, continue to fail to represent the people, that is something people must start to demand and act with stronger stance against such egregious behavior.

The House Members allow Presidents for decades to use war acts and usurp freedom without due process or abiding to basic American values. The puzzling is how most people continues seated watching TV.
In a few instances seems the tide is shifting, as the primary election of Ned Lemont, this primary election has rocked the world of the entrenched politicos.

This entrenchment supine position of politicos is not a single party situation, but both parties practice it and thy are as guilty as sin.
Can you call for term limits?

Such continuous actions by House members are the driver for their poor respect by the people. Congress has less than 25% of approval rating.
Still, this will not eliminate the fact these same cadre will be re-elected in 98% of cases, with incumbents controlling the election as de facto right.

Maybe we start to see some changes with people actions been more participative and vocal in the primaries.

If people do not participate in primaries, the stuffing of the election is done.
The key is to participate in the primaries.
The teaching of others about this important event, until we have party line free open line elections -then might the best win- and not the anointed by the parties elitist Politburo, we need to grow the debate.

We must demand truth, openness and debate, no lies and convenient usurpation of rights.
