Fw: Rep. Lee Introduces Resolution of Inquiry into Iraq War Planning

   ^{Psalm 19:  9}The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

 

Thankfully, there are still some God-fearing Congresspeople, who believe that there is such a thing as truth and justice, and who are doing their duty- serving the people instead of kowtowing to the corporations and their minions in the White House. 

 

Check out the third anniversary Downing Street Memo forum nearest you at http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/766  I'll be hearing Barbara Lee speak at the Oakland CA event, at the Grand Lake theater Saturday morning at 11. 

 

In the name of the Prince of Peace,  Carol Wolman
