Mario Cuomo on Dems, War, Constitution

It's about time a prominent and well-respected Dem called on Democratic members of Congress and the Dem presidential candidates to take their Constitutional responsibilities seriously and quit passing off their power to Bush. I've always been a fan of Cuomo and wish he'd run for president, but I suppose he isn't bought off enough by the war profiteers to pass muster. Maybe we should send a link to this video to every Dem member of Congress and every Dem presidential candidate. Of course that action might have more clout if we attached a pledge to raise big money for their campaigns. You know how it works. Maybe we should add a link to Why We Fight so they know we know what they're doing.

BarB: A great idea to send a link of this to all the candidates-and ask for a response? Also to Pelosi and Reed. What do we have to lose?

I couldn't agree more. Prepare a petition and I'll sign on. I'm a life-long Democrat but at the present time I am disgusted with all the candidates. Obama acts like a mouse and Hillary is trying to ride a pony and a jack-ass at the same time. The only candidate worthy of voting for with electability is John Edwards.
