How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have.
They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

HR 511, Part II

As I posted here, I sent an e-mail to my representative in Congress, Jim Marshall, concerning my support for HR 511, a bill that would pledge the financial support of the House for the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Well, Mr. Marshall has written back to me, and here's what he said . . .

I'm somewhat confident that he will support the bill since he is a veteran who ran in support of the war. However, all 74 co-sponsors of HR 511 are Republican(!) so we'll see. By the way this is a handy website you can use to keep track of bills in Congress. HR 511 is still in the Armed Services Committee as far as I know.
