The Power of the Purse

"Congress has the power of the purse, meaning it has the ultimate veto over the war. Democrats control both chambers of Congress, meaning they have the ultimate veto over the war. If they chose not to schedule a vote to give Bush a blank check, the war would end. The whole idea that they 'can't end the war' is the highest form of dishonesty."

...nothing but pictures of purses--hand drawn, cut from magazines and newspapers, photographs--with the same message on each one: Stop the war. Power of the purse.

6. But do they know that WE understand it?

Do they know that we are not fooled by their "innocent bystander" routine?

5. How about pictures of dead Iraqi children instead?

7. Because it allows them to continue to pull their "innocent bystander" crap.

I want them to know that WE know it's bullshit, that WE know they have the power to end the war now, that WE know they have the power of the purse.

8. Going, going...
