(And it would certainly receive a veto if it ever did)


"California Rep. Barbara Lee -- the only member of Congress to vote
against
authorizing President Bush to respond militarily to the terrorist
attacks
of
Sept. 11, 2001 -- has initiated two recent actions in the House of
Representatives that further solidifies her role as a leading opponent
of
the Bush administration's foreign policy. Rep. Barbara Lee was
nominated
in
late June for the Nobel Peace Prize as part of an international effort
to
recognize the work of women around the world who promote peace.

On June 30, Lee introduced a bill that states it is "the policy of the
United States not to enter into any base agreements with the government
of
Iraq that would lead to a permanent United States military presence in
Iraq." The bill currently has 41 co-sponsors." (All Democrats no
doubt).

I go to bed every night and thank my lucky stars for Congresspersons like
Barbara Lee. It's people like her that will assure that this country will
have a Republican majority for the rest of the foreseeable future.

Howard Dean sure seems to be working hard toward that goal :-)
