Not only money, but power. There is so much warmongering going on it's enraging.


Check out these voting records to amend the NDAA to allow a fair trial for prisoners in the military.

http://votesmart.org/bill/votes/39904

"....to eliminate indefinite military detention of any person detained under AUMF authority in U.S., territories or possessions by providing immediate transfer to trial and proceedings by a court established under Article III of the Constitution of the United states or by an appropriate State court. "

I can NOT believe the number of representatives that voted this thing down. And that's only one of the many, many militia-pushed bills encouraged by congress.

On a happier note, this was on the dailypaul.. I found it very inspiring!!



And of course, I had to find a message from Iran to Israel.
