I respect the men and women of conviction that are part of PNA.In a few areas,you have changed my mind.The Iraq War is a quagmire.It is draining our national treasury.The Iraq War is dividing our nation and alienating our allies.

Is this part of al'qaeda's strategy? Divide and conquer and to sap the United States economic base? I remember that hours following the September 11 2001 attack.The world was united in a voice of anger and resolve to deal with terrorism.G W Bush held in his hands,the good will and unity to align a true coalition to counter terrorism.He had the opportunity to take his seat amongst the giants of history.He chose the path that angels fear to tread and rushed in the neocon reactionary route.

I did yoemans work to help progressives get elected last year and truly believed that the new Congress would find a way to end our involvement in the Iraqi War and restore sanity to Washington DC.

The Democrats have done all they could.The Republicans have blocked them at every turn.They can continue the focus on the war with various resolutions and debates.Now is where you and I come in.Its time for a national debate on the Iraq War in all 435 House Districts across the U S A.Dare the Republicans to stifle this debate.They can't. Bin Laden and his operatives will see America it her best.They will see the will of 54% of Americans articulate a strategy to exist Iraq.They will see the best of what you and I have to offer in terms of security and stablility of the Middle East.They will see the sentiment return hours after the 9/11 attack,where a world is united under the auspices of the United Nations to combat global terrorism.

Security of my neighborhood is of paramount concern.Our communities are better served if our military is here to protect us from harm.Our first responders can better serve us if funding is adequate to do the job.The future generation is better served if they are not saddled with a national deficit.
An organized West Denver? A strong GOTV effort paved the way for Senator Ken Salazar to win his Senate seat.
The Neighborhood Congress is a coalition of places of worship, businesses,and community associations.During the spring of 2006,our group polled 500 residents in the Mar Lee and Harvey Park neighborhoods of southwest Denver.We asked our neighs to list three major concerns.Response:
1.Neighborhood Security
2.Economic Security
3.Health Care.
I am working with a coalition to convince the DNC to select Denver as the host City for the 2008 Convention.
