[Peace-discuss] FW: Bring em' home

[Carl G. Estabrook]

Good as far as it goes. But it's still not clear how he stands on  
Obama's war policies.

Does he support Obama's drone war (in six countries with which we're  
not at war)?

Does he regard the drone war - and its dead civilians, adult & child -  
as an impeachable offense?

Has he publicly pledged (as Johnson did) to vote against funds for war  
in the Middle East?

What's his position on the  bipartisan suit by members of Congress  
(including Rep. Johnson) against Obama's violation of the War Powers  
Act in Libya (also an impeachable offense)?

Has he publicly condemned Obama's murder of US citizens and children  
(the Alawlaki family)?

Has he condemned Obama's (and Durbin's) threats of war against Iran  
(which are violations of the UN Charter)?
