Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States of any of its neighboring nations.
I believe sincerely that we should bring in U.N. peacekeepers and bring our troops home.
When you have real power you don't threaten. People know what your capabilities are.
My political career goes back to the '60s and those were times of vigorous debates.
I have worked to expand the health care debate beyond the current for-profit system, to include a public option and an amendment to free the states to pursue single payer.
In the past week it has become clear that the vote on the final healthcare bill will be very close. I take this vote with the utmost seriousness. I am quite aware of the historic fight that has lasted the better part of the last century to bring America in line with other modern democracies in providing single payer health care.
