People from a whole bunch of local peace-oriented groups tried to give Congressman Vern Buchanan (Rep. FL-13) some data from Moveon.org showing the cost of Bush's Iraq shoot-em-up and suggesting better uses for the money.
Unfortunately, senior Buchanan staffers refused to listen, and the Congressman himself was someplace that couldn't be revealed due to security concerns, according to the one staffer who *did* listen.
Ah, well. It was a worthy try by some concerned citizens to change a Republican's mind. Maybe it'll even succeed if repeated often enough.
Do you think 9/11 would have happened if our US Foreign Policy were more morally balanced towards the state of Israel?
