I left a message asking to vote No on the $33 billion spending and to vote Yes on the McGovern-Obey amendment.

They are funded six months in advance. They have an orderly withdrawal plan for field of battle according to Col. Ann Wright. Unless Congress acts, this will drag out until we are broke and kicked out. The Pentagon doesn’t need any more money. They are funded six months in advance.

Asked her if she knew how the congressman intended to vote on the $33bn war supplemental. She said he hadn't mentioned it to her. I expressed some dismay considering that the vote was going to be the very next day. After ranting on about how fed up I am with all this war crap, I told her to be sure to let Heinrich know that I will not vote for any candidate who votes to further fund war.

I explained my opposition to the war, which has been there since Day One, and also told him that my wife & I are both on Social Security disability and Medicare, and that we will be highly displeased if both are cut to pay for this damnable "war" (invasion/occupation). I also said that if Skelton votes "yes" for the $33 billion, I will work as hard as I can to un-elect him in November. I was given a non-committal "I'll tell the Congressman that you called and what you said." He did not want to get into it. This invasion/occupation, which has lasted for 10 years, killed over 1,000 young American boys and girls, countless numbers of innocent Afghani men, women, children, babies and elderly, and cost We The People hundreds of billions of dollars we don't have and can't afford, has run our international reputation into the ground, and it must end NOW! It is far beyond time that the budget of the Orwellian-named "Department of Defense" be slashed, and the money put into caring for the segments of American society which have been too long ignored; the sick, dying, disabled, hungry, homeless, healthcare-less, and anyone else who has been kicked to the curb by the moneyed-elite. If ever there was a time for the United States to become a Democratic Socialist society, now is indeed the time!
