A Blank Check to Bomb Iran?

  Before Bush Bombs Iran,Congress Should at least Ask WHYIt's bad enough that Congress is considering allocating another $100 billion for the Iraq War. Now they're trying to make it easier for President Bush to bomb Iran, too. Early drafts of the new bill for Iraq funding contained explicit language prohibiting Bush from bombing Iran without coming to Congress to explain, but just yesterday that provision was stripped from the bill.[1] With the Iran prohibition removed, Bush would be free to drop bombs on Iran without even seeking approval from the people's representatives in Congress. It's not too late to fix this, though -- the bill is not yet law. Tell your lawmakers to make it illegal for Bush to bomb Tehran without explaining himself. We've got more than enough problems on our hands.  http://action.truemajority.org/campaign/iran_sup Sincerely, Darcy Scott MartinTrueMajority Washington Director [1] - AP: Dems abandon war authority provision Here's the message we'll send to your representative:Dear Representative, It would be a cruel irony Congress has less oversight over the next war than it has over this one.         Fortunately, you are in a good position to avoid this tragedy.         Please insist that language is included in the Iraq supplemental prohibiting an attack on Iran without a full Congressional review. It’s bad enough that America continues to wage the Iraq war, with no end in sight. You should not tolerate the replication of such a disastrous model. Your NameYour Address
