Yesterday citizens took to the streets in front of Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff's Pasadena, California offices to send him a clear message. STOP funding the WAR. Many returned today with reinforcements. Why Adam Schiff, and why now? Schiff sits on the powerful House Appropriations Committee soon to decide on legislation that could result in Bush being allocated another 200 billion US taxpayer dollars to pursue the illegal occupation and war in Iraq. Schiff states that he is opposed to Bush's escalation - but is that enough? Schiff voted for the Iraq War resolution, and year after year he voted to give Bush billions upon hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to keep our soldiers in Iraq to kill and be killed in an illegal war. Schiff now says that he opposes Bush's policy, but rhetoric does not equal action. Congress can bring the war to end by cutting off the flow of cash. There are lives in the balance, and there is already enough money in the pipeline to bring our troops home safely.
