4. Cutting off funds is something the Out Of Iraq Caucus is working for
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 04:26 AM by Greeby
How much support it has in the House is unclear, but sadly not one member of the Senate in the 109th Congress voted against war funds. Bernie Sanders obviously will, as he did before. And I think Sherrod Brown did in the House. Don't know about the new people though
