Emergency Action Message 20060427

C.I.R. -- E.A.M. Link

You see a photograph of a man who has totally lost his mind. During a time of war, an unconventional one; where intelligence is almost more necessary than radar on our shores or Navy ships, Army tanks, or Air Force jets. It is intelligence required to keep the home front truly safe. The above Senator, the lacking in judgment Senator, Arlen Specter (R-PA) has decided that he might attempt to cut off funding... to one of the most vital intelligence programs in our nations history.

"Institutionally, the presidency is walking all over Congress at the moment," Specter, R-Pa., told the panel. "If we are to maintain our institutional prerogative, that may be the only way we can do it."

With all due respect… I hope the President steps on your neck, holds you down, and beats the teeth from your head. Legislatively of course. Speaking of "institutionally", I believe you just may belong in one.
