Hillary should never be on the Armed Forces Committee, she and her husband spent 8 years cutting the Military budget, closing bases, and trashing the military.!

Many of you are angry and e-mailing congress-critters thing is they don't read them if the e-mails are not from their constituents at the best you will get back a computerized response. It is better to send a letter or telephone.

I wonder if the democrats that are campaigning for 2004 have any sense that she may grab the nomination during their convention, she could take it without any expenditures, no travel time, and no question and answer sessions....it would be something she would do.

Thank you for the tip about sending letters and phone calls and I'll write my Senator (John Warner). While we may not get responses personally from other Congressmen, the emails should at least send up a few flags.

I am also aware that Hillary strikes a cord of fear in most of our politicians and it would be a strong man indeed to go up against her. This fear emboldens her and gives her an incredible amount of power that under other circumstances she would not enjoy. Let's hope our representatives take a cue from Dubya and take a strong dose of spine stiffener real soon.
