Riding a runaway train

There's a hairpin curve in the train tracks at Altoona, Pennsylvania, where passengers on the train actually get to see the engine pass as it rounds Horseshoe Bend. In my mind's eye, I see US citizens as passenger's on such a train, watching and crying out in horror as the train heads for disaster and the three locomotives at the head of the train, symbolizing the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of our government, allow it to rush full speed ahead. Terrorized passengers cannot be numbed by the crisis or placated by non-binding resolutions of disapproval. They have to apply the emergency brakes.

Executive Branch

Legislative Branch



Judicial Branch

Imagine- 3 Branches of government working together to change the course in Iraq!

There are 50 other passengers car on this train for each 50 states. From the web cam in the Massachusetts car, I don't see our own Congressman Delahunt or many of the MASS delegation, applying the brakes. We must help them. That's was thier message from the majority of voters in November 2006.

Those in our delegation that have joined the Out of Iraq Caucus to slow this wreck are Rep. Marty Meehan and Rep. Ed Markey, who have taken the pledge to cut off funding now! We need Bill Delahunt is part of the Out of Iraq Caucas, but has yet to sign and publish his pledge to cut off funding.

There can be no delay in taking action. There are individual brakes on railroad cars, and passengers must pull them in unison. The road map calls for the cutting off of funding because the first "decider engine" is out of touch and out of control.

It's back to March on the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. in 10 Days time to remind Congress about the election results!
