It's time to take the fun out of this war
Republicans are proud of themselves that they are defeating our party's resolutions.

It's time to turn the tables and make this war look very, very ugly.

We can do this, let's call up our people in Congress and tell them to hold hearings on:

Iraq's Refugee Crisis

Contractor abuses

The Civil War

And more

Let's make the Republicans regret that they continue to support this war.

1. contracts
Also, it seems to me that we're still giving defense contractors no-bid contracts. At minimum, this should stop immediately.

4. don't take the "fun" out, take the "funds" out
no profit = no war.

If halliburton and others were not making billions, we'd have 3,200 troops in our midst that are currently deceased, not to mention the thousands injured and broken.

5. Cancel ALL existing defense contracts, effective immediately.
Reissue for bid with a fast deadline, say 2 weeks, and add an instruction that any padding will be repaid by the contractor at 150%.

Force the federal government to subsidize every Iraqi refugee to the tune of $200/month. That's way more than they've seen since this invasion began.

Impeach. Imprison. Period.
