16. War has not been declared.
Edited on Tue Sep-02-03 10:37 AM by styersc
The 1970's era War Powers Act gives the president access to the use of the military without a declaration of war- as long as he has sought consultation with the Congress. Which party has controlled congress since 1994???

Kerry is the best candidate. His policies are far better. His peace credentials are as strong as his willingness to go to war for national security. He is a balanced and credentialed candidate. The Democratic party is certain to reject him. I will support any Dem candidate but know Kerry is the best candidate.

I am about to support Dean. As long as we are going for personality over issues- Dean is the man. No one in the lower-middle classes need tax cuts. Raise the taxes on welfare mothers and CEOs alike. No new gun laws. Lets elect the guy.
