Open Letter to Congress

"Members of Congress! Be faithful to your oaths of office and to the traditions of your branch of government. Think of the country, not of your re-election. Assert your power. Stand up for the prerogatives of Congress. Defend the Constitution. Reject the arrogance--and the ignorance--of power. Show respect for your constituents--they require your honest judgment, not capitulation to the executive. Say no to empire. Affirm the Republic. Preserve the peace. Vote against war in Iraq. "

A (hopefully) thought-provoking open letter to Congress from The Nation admonishing the whole bunch for failing to provide a voice of opposition to the imperial plans of George the II.
