    My login is ginchinchili, but this site won't let me register because I mistyped my email address.

    I just wanted to say that I'm heartbroken that you are not going to be our nominee. I can't get my mind around this one. You aren't just the perfect candidate, but you'd be exactly what we need in the White House at this point in time. I can no longer consider myself a Democrat because the people who support the Party are just too damn stupid. Now we run a serious risk of losing AGAIN. For what it's worth, I'm writing in the name of Joe Biden in our primary, and probably our general election as well. Thanks for giving us your all. We think the world of you.

    What will it take to get S.J. Res 23 sent up for a vote in the Senate? Despite is rather pro forma nature as a resolution, I believe it is very important that the Senate pass it, and the House pass its version.

    Of course should it pass, it will be necessary to gather a 2/3 majority if the "President" vetoes the bill, as expected.

    But even if that supermajority is not obtainable, passage of the resolution would get the Senate (and Senators) on record about their attitudes toward any unilateral action against Iran, and the Senate's intentions in their ill-advised vote to declare the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a "Foreign Terrorist Organization".

    There is little doubt that if this Administration decides to make a mad dash at Iran near the end of its term in a last-ditch gambit for control of the middle east oil reserves, or at least complicating any efforts at withdrawal by the next administration, it will do so using the thin reed of that Iranian Guard Resolution as its rationalization.

    Assuming the Congress gathers enough courage to actively defend the United States Constitution against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC, and criminal charges are pursued against those responsible for any such atrocity, the Resolution - even if passed by a simple majority and vetoed - could prove pivotal in arguments over the meaning and authority inherent in the RevGuard Resolution. Whether vetoed or not, a passed resolution is a statement of intent.

    In addition, action on this resolution would get any rumored action against Iran into the public discourse, and allow opposition to make itself heard BEFORE it is too late.

    Please prioritize this action, if possible. Let us know what we need to do to help.
