This Government is run by the people and for the people!

Daily I grow more sick of our current state in the United States. On many levels I am very displeased and unhappy about how America is and is being run today. As of right now our country is fighting a war that, until a few months ago, I thought was justified. I don't know if you can empathize with me or not but when something that you believe is fact, turns out to be flat out wrong, is extremely hard to swallow and even harder to change. Congress is going to pass legislation to start pulling American troops out of Iraq starting October 1st and a complete pullout during Apirl 2008. However, troops would remain to help train the Iraqi military and police force as well as helping them to counter terrorism. That to me seems like a wonderful plan, and it has my vote! American soldiers are and have been dying every single day for a war that for now is completely unjustified. If congress, which is made up of 435 elected officials, whose primary jobs are to speak for the people, declare that our nation needs to pull out of Iraq then it is not the Presidents right to veto that power. Our Nation was founded on checks and balances, it was founded on the people being the primary power of the government. I will be very interested to see how this plays out when Congress does officially pass the legislation and whether or not the President veto's that bill or not. I hope for the sake of our troops, Iraq, the President, our Government and most importantly us citizens that this bill gets passed and is signed by President Bush. If not, it will go to show how unstable our government is and how us, the American people, need to make a stand!
