Go to OpenCongress.org to check on them

Garrett tells us about OpenCongress.org, a site where you can see what you favorite congressperson (or congresscritter if you prefer) has done and how they have voted.

This way I can easily check on any of them, including my representative, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz [D, FL-20]

It will also make it easier to see who's giving in to the current administration and chickened out, voting for funding the war with no end in sight. We voted last November to fix many things, including trying to make something out of the current mess in Iraq that this administration got us into. We have to set some kind of exit strategy. It cannot be open-ended ad-infinitum.

We don 't need and nobody wants another Vietnam. Besides the money wasted, there is the more important issue of the human cost. American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. We are breaking our Army. At some point it will be unsustainable. Then they will be forced to institute a draft. Then you will see (finally) the kids in the Universities rise up like they did during Vietnam. They have been strangely silent as a generation that obviously does not care much beyond their dreams of money in their future professional careers and their iPods, and other material things they have now. Don't they read the paper every once in a while? Wait till it touches them directly, then we'll see what happens.

Do I feel better after saying that? No. I will when something is finally done about this mess. I have not seen it yet from this Congress. They don't have the votes to override a veto, so they are discussing what to do as this is being written. We'll see if they amend the bill to do what the administration wants or do they fight. Let's attach some strings. The ones the voters requested in November, shall we?
