He's a Libertarian turned Republican. I wish he could see the error of his ways. At least he doesn't fall into lockstep with the other GOPers.
Dear Ms. ILSA:
Thank you for contacting me regarding your concerns about the aftermath of the war in Iraq. As one who has been consistently and vocally opposed to an invasion of Iraq, I can assure you that I share these concerns.
I do agree with you that this is a matter for congressional oversight. Congress has unfortunately already ignored its constitutional obligation in refusing to vote for or against a declaration of war against Iraq. Congress must not again ignore its obligations on this matter of oversight of the Executive Branch. Fortunately, we are seeing the beginnings of such oversight in the form of hearings in the Senate and House of Representatives on the matter. I fully support these hearings and every effort to discover more about the administration's decision to wage war against Iraq.
Please see below my speech on the House Floor on this very topic.
If you have any other questions, concerns, or comments that you would like me to address, please do not hesitate to contact my office directly.
Again, thank you for keeping me apprised of your concerns.
