Schumer's Dear John to Obama on Iran Deal; Confessions of a Conflicted Lover New York Senator Chuck Schumer's statement opposing the Iran deal reads like a wishy-washy-wish-I-didn't-have-to-write this Dear John letter to President Obama.

Imagine if in 2010 we did not spend one more borrowed penny to manufacture new weapons, occupy new lands, or recruit new mercenaries.

War is Not a Green Job Cut the fat in the bloated military budget, a sacred cow that is larger than all the world's military budgets combined, and reemploy the workforce in the Green economy. Bring our troops home from the trillion-dollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and honor our veterans with land and lessons in organic farming.

Will the Out of Iraq Caucus Live Up to Its Name? Speak Out Los Angeles! After the near comatose nod to escalation of US troops in Afghanistan, passage of H.R. 2346, the 97-billion Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2009, is in doubt in the House because the GOP is miffed the bill contains billions to increase the lending capacity of the International Monetary Fund.
