[Peace-discuss] please thank Rep. Johnson for co-sponsoring Kucinich Afghanistan withdrawal resolution

[C. G. Estabrook]

You'd think, particularly on an issue this important, we wouldn't have to dig so
hard to find out a candidate's position...

When you worked on my campaign for Congress for the Green party, we looked for 
chances to tell people what we thought.  Maybe the idea is that that's why 
candidacies like ours don't do better.  A studied ambiguity is the way to go.
