important.

The only thing the Democrats can honestly promise if they take over Congress is oversight - investigations and hearings.

The Bush Crony contractors have used the treasury as their own personal slush fund with the approval of or, at the very least, acquiescence of Congress.

Pledging to begin Truman Investigations and Hearings should be a Main platform for all Dems run on.

It should be something everyone, everywhere in the Country knows that the Democrats will do immediately upon taking control of Congress.

It should be a national campaign message - tying it back to Truman under a Democratic President pledging to get the War Profiteers.

Franklin Roosevelt said during World War II, "I don't want to see a single war millionaire created in the United States as a result of this world disaster"

We need to hammer the sh@# out of that message. It is a disgrace how so many have gotten so rich off of the Iraq War - and that has been perfectly OK with the WH and Republican Congress.

I think this is a huge Republican weakness just sitting there for the Democrats to exploit. Plus it is just the right thing to do and everybody knows it.
