Those issues light up the phones and get the digital juices flowing.But lawmakers from across the political spectrum say their constituents seem to be too war-weary or preoccupied with matters at home to be making their voices heard in large numbers on Obama's troop increase.The tepid response is a marked difference from three years ago, when President George W. Bush's decision to send more troops into a bogged-down Iraq war roiled the Capitol for months and prompted widespread protests.more . . . http://www.kansascity.com/437/story/1612080.html

I've been doing this for years, and won't stop, but it's not working- clearly-It might be time for peace activists to throw everything we have into anti- recruiting, however with the economy in disaster, and no job hopes for many kids futures that likely won't be very effective either. I'm convinced more and more that Peace of the Action, is a good plan to demonstrate our discontent with all issues pertaining to perpetual war and the military industrial complex.http://peaceoftheaction.org /
