Sadly, there is no easy way to do this. My only success in doing that was to storm Yahoo HQ with a crack team of three light infantry units. Once inside we needed to take something like nine hostages at gunpoint before we could even get a secretary to speak to us. Only after we had executed four of the older ones did we finally get a tech-support person to show his pimply face, but by then we had been stormed from the roof-tiles by their own internal SWAT division and as I write from deep within a holding cell in the Yahoo! building, I find that I'm not getting all the points I deserve on this system, and I can't get anything but a chat-bot to deal with the question. Mind-numbingingly-maddening this situation.

I've responded with the same source time and time again.  Read his original resolution: H.R. 2723.  It is men and women, the only choices are Military or civilian related, no questions asked.  You will give at least 15 months whether you like it or not.  I don't know what you are listening to or basing your question off of, but do a little research.  If is goes to congress again, he'll say he made a point and the republicans want your children to die (that is basically what he said last time).  If it is shot down he'll claim it is because nobody wants their children to go to war.  He's already won and doesn't have to do anything about it.  Thank God we have so many people who would rather see our country vanish than defend or protect.  Then again that's why we have people out there, you know the ones, the uneducated doing it for us.  Sorry, sparky's remarks were no twisted joke.

The republicans are all too happy to lay down their freedom at the feet of authority.  They are too short-sighted to see that power like this is abused all the time.  Severe abuse of power like we saw in WW2 is probably not going to happen any time soon in the US but when Republicans let their government roll them over and fail to insist on accountability or checks and balances, then they put everything every solider has ever died for at risk.\n\nVOTE YOUR REPUBLICANS REPS OUT OF OFFICE THIS NOVEMBER!

It's the liberal "chickenhawk" pretzel logic, but it only applies to conservatives and Republicans.\n\nIt's not like they're standing in line, waiting to enlist to go to Darfur, is it?

It was a way of making a point, Though this certain person has brought up the subject before, it is a way to deter Republicans from going to war by making it a possibility for those who come from all sorts of backgrounds be it rich or poor have to go fight as well. . Meaning Senators and Congressman's children to have to go no matter what. Well that's what i got from this news article. Read it and make your own opinion :)

Our soldiers offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. \n\nThe best way to support our troops is to hold to account the Government who put them in harm's way based on a lie.\n\nWe must support our troops by demanding that they're pulled out away from murder and murdering on behalf of politicians who couldn't be bothered to even join up themselves.

The checks and balances of our governmental system will not allow them to do this unilaterally.  The can apply pressure and have more ability to control the debates on what will be done but they still do not have the 2/3 to 3/4 majority needed to do things by themselves, they will need Republican cooperation.

You can send a message to the terrorists/insurgents in Iraq by voting for Republicans straight down the ballot!\n\nThe liberal press has been reporting the war in Iraq as a disaster because of the continual efforts by terrorist to violently kill as many innocent civilians. The liberal press has followed on that effort by predicting a large victory by Democrats to repudiate the war.\n\nIf people unite and vote Republicans, it will send the signal that we're not buying the enemies propaganda, and we're staying the course. They can stop killing because it does them no good. And since our troops continue to defeat them head-on in battle, they can cease and desist and try to become part of Iraq's democratic process....\n\nEnd the war. Vote Republican!

Get involved. I've written my congressmen and 2 senators every time they voted on legislation involved with the war to either show my approval or disdain. Make sure they hear your voice. Some may write you back, Some may not. Register to vote or, if you can't, get involved with candidates (no age limit to do this) and maybe even join a Young Republicans or Young Democrats group. Volunteer for a candidate. Just get involved. As much as possible.

This is their last arena. If they were to stop speaking as a Republican, where could they draw power from? It's going to take some prominent members of the republican party calling them out to make it happen. They hurt not only republicans, but all Americans.

The Constitution does not give any specific method by which war is declared.  No particular wording is required.  It simply says:\n\n     "The Congress shall have Power...\n          (...a bunch of other powers...)\n     To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal...\n          (...more other powers...)"\n\nThis question has come up many times in recent politics because a vote to "authorize military force" can be described to constituents as either a vote in favor of, or one opposed to, a war.  Politicians from both parties see this as being safer, politically, than using the phrase, "declare war."\n\nIn the legal sense, this question can't be definitively answered unless the Supreme Court, or a Constitutional amendment, lays out specific wording.  However, by the principals of precedent, and common law, since this war HAS been authorized, it has been declared.

What's wrong with boarder patrol in Iraq, or Afghanistan? That is what a conservative would say. I think there will be thousands of discharged military men looking to fill those positions already.

They vote with their conscience, Democrats and republicans are why we are in trouble here in america.  Vote Green.  Protect our environment today, so we have somewhere to hunt tomorrow, spare innocent lives by bringing our troops back,  invest in energy saving solutions,  and bring our president to justice for war crimes and crimes against humanity along with Saddam Hussein.

Protesters who hope to save the people of Iraq/Afghanistan/Haiti/Palestine etc. from destruction must select the issues they confront and the means they employ in such a way as to attract as much popular support as possible for their efforts. There is no lack of clear issues and honorable means, surely, hence no reason why one should be impelled to ugly actions on ambiguous issues. In particular, it seems to me that counter-recruitment, properly conducted (as it has been so far ), is not only a highly principled and courageous act, but one that might receive broad support and become politically effective. It might, furthermore, succeed in raising the issues of passive complicity in the war which are now much too easily evaded. Those who face these issues may even go on to free themselves from the mind-destroying ideological pressures of American life, and to ask some serious questions about America's role in the world
