very weird letter in Congress.org Soapbox
No Presidential Elections during War Times
Iraq

To Whom it may concern,
Holding Presidential elections during War times, ie.Iraq, Afghanistan is not productive to our country, we need to protect our troops and not put them in harms way, the opposing party during Presidential elections are just too political and the main motive is to get elected and will do and say anything to get elected.

I do not believe we will win the hearts and minds of the Iraq's, no matter what we do in Iraq, the Iraq children appear to be the only ones that are grateful.

Regards,
Julie

Uh, Julie
Have you ever heard of something called the Civil War? There were elections in both 1862 and 1864, and that war was far more real and more destructive than this so-called "war on terror" that let Bush attack a country that didn't have anything to do with 911. Don't fall for the Bush BS.

2. Which Iraqi children appear to be grateful?
I haven't noticed an outpouring of support for Americans from Iraqi children. I've seen a lot of photos of dead Iraqi children and babies.

The Republicans would just love to shut down the elections because it is "war-time." What a winning issue! They could just keep us in wartime from now to forever and never have to hold elections again! Nice try.

We had elections during World War II. Next.

3. No.
There are two things you must remember:

1. There is a little thing called "The Constitution" that has something to say about that idea.

2. You shouldn't worry about the ramblings of the medication non-compliant.
