ATTN: Democratic Majority (of One)

Yes, that means you (the House) and you (the Senate).

Since it seems all but inevitable now, that the overarching policy of the current Democratic Majority (of One)™ is to delay, delay, delay, I have a small suggestion to you, all of you.

Delay Everything. Really.  everything.  You can't get any timetables?  Never mind, don't need them.

Just don't let ANY FRICKIN BILLS OUT OF COMMITTE.  None. Zip. Nada. Zilch. Zippo. Get the idea?  

The Republican Caucus and the Republican President have refused to change their stance on the re-Surge-nce of their Military Solution to Everything™ policy.

Our Democratic (Majority of One)Party™ cannot or will not try to raise a 60 vote super-majority to over-ride a presidential veto.  Fine.  So you aren't going to go for the moral high-ground by even making a show of trying.

Then go the other way.  If you can't get anything of fucking value past the staggering-from-the-last-scandal Republican Party and the President of 'Gog and Magog', then so be it.

But, for pete's sake, don't help those war-mongering, power-mad, egomaniacs in Congress and the White House destroy what little of value is left of my beloved country.

Don't let one, single, solitary bill out of committee.  Not one.  

With no funding bill, there is no arguement about whom is supporting the troops by authorizing more funding, or whom is supporting the troops by funding their withdrawl from the Theatre of War back home to their families and friends.

The troops will come home.  With no future funds in play, the Administration would be forced to spend available funds re-deploying the forces out of the Iraqi territories, and effectively ending the active military action and occupation of the sovereign nation of Iraq.

No one will be able to point a finger and say, "you lost the war because you did...".

Every member of congress can say with a straight face, to their constituents, "I didn't do it".

You all will have plausable deniability.  

The Democratic Caucus may be the Democratic (Majority of One)Party™, but that's all it takes to keep every single bill in committee through the end of the current Congressional Term.

Don't open any bills on the floor for debate.  Don't vote any bills out of committee.

The Republicans can't stop you.  You are actually in control of these actions as the majority party.  Who knew?  You have the power to do something so very simple, and yet, by your (in)action, you will stymie the entire war machine that has been reaping record profits off the blood, sweat and tears of our fellow citizens in uniform.

No bills out of committee?  No riders or amendments with multi-million dollar boondoggle earmarks, attached to a bill in the dark of night (sometimes literally in the dark of night).  Sorry Halliburton, you'll have to start actually bidding for jobs again.  You know, so that the People can be assured that every damn project that goes out for private work is performed for, at the very least, some reasonable amount of cash.  No more 'cost-plus' overruns with no accountability. Espcially on projects on whose outcome the safety of our armed forces rests.  

I'd like to close this brief rant with the suggestion the if you can't fight them actively with Subpeonas or Impeachment, then you practice non-violent non-cooperation.  It worked for Ghandi and India.  Perhaps it will work for These United States.
