@izzythepush,
I was in the group that didn't support the war in Iraq, and even wrote to my congresswoman, Diane Feinstein, not to approve the war requested by GW Bush. She wrote back to me, and said with the information they have, there was no choice but to approve the war.
I've written to my reps in congress several times, and even to the president, but they have ignored my one voice - which turned out to be right 100% of the time. I've given up writing to government officials; it's a waste of time and effort - even after Obama says he listens to the American people. That's BS.
