A resolution condemning congress

As the United States Congress has preoccupied itself recently with condemning irrelevant concerns such as a political ad aimed at general David Petraeus by the organization MoveOn, and more alarmingly in currently attempting to pass a resolution declaring Turkey's attack on the Armenians at the end of WWI a genocide, creating a rift that does not have to exist, I feel it is fitting to pass a resolution condemning this outdated, self serving organization, seeing as real unjustified deaths continue to occur under their watch while they focus on events from the 1920's. What is going on here? How can congress, who failed to do their job in holding the executive branch in check when president Bush illegally invaded Iraq (congress is required to declare war, though they made no declaration and did nothing to prevent Bush from pursuing war), who continue to fund and approve outrageous budget allotments for this illegal war and occupation, condemn Turkey for an act that occurred nearly a century ago, when they have overseen over a million casualties from this illegal war in Iraq? Very soon the death toll in Iraq will exceed the 1.5 Armenian deaths congress is attempting to call attention to. Their concern should be with the life that has yet to be taken, not on shallow political resolutions. They would be better served to issue a resolution condemning themselves.

In a recent poll, the approval rating of congress was a paltry 11%, making president Bush's 24% approval rating seem relatively good. It is no surprise that only 11% of the country approves of congress's actions with the irresponsibility in decision making they continue to demonstrate. There are those who confuse this country for a democracy, but if that were the case, the elected leaders would reflect more than 1/4 of the nations views, which Bush can't even claim. Seeing as 89% of the nation disapproves of congress, how can they democratically be representative of the whole? They represent themselves, the upper class of our nation, the wealthy elite, not the general welfare of the American people, nor any people for that matter. Since congress will not condemn itself, here is the resolution the American people should pass regarding this irresponsible entity:

Whereas the United States Congress serves as an integral part of a system of checks and balances in the United States Government,

Whereas it is the responsibility of Congress to issue declarations of war,

Whereas it is the duty of Congress to put a stop to an unauthorized war,

Whereas it is the purpose of Congress to police the President's actions when such blatant deceptions and disregard for precedent occur,

Whereas no action has been taken by Congress to put an immediate halt to this illegal occupation of Iraq,

Whereas no action has been initiated by Congress to hold those responsible for this illegal war in misleading this country on the facts: President Bush, Vice President Cheney and former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, to name a few,

Whereas an unresolved injustice is occurring in Iraq and Congress is focused on WWI,

Whereas time was actually spent by the paid elected members of Congress to condemn a political ad by the organization MoveOn,

Therefore be it resolved that you piss us off Congress, and do little other than stuff your pockets full with a six figure, tax payer funded salary, and whatever special interests you can get your hands on.

Be it resolved that you had a duty to ensure that our President was leading us down the proper path, and you allowed him to create a war that never had to be, which didn't have a shred of evidence to support it's need.

Be it resolved that as you attempt to place blame on the country of Turkey for horrifically killing 1.5 million Armenians at the end of WWI, you have blood all over your hands in a reality as equally unjust.

Be it resolved you are failing this country by allowing these crimes to occur.

Therefore, you are no longer needed. The people can do without you, a better job in fact, without the six figure salaries and endless political corruption. There are other ways, more democratic ways to run this country, rather than the bureaucratic mess misguiding us.

Be it resolved you are equally responsible for this unjustified massacre in Iraq as the irresponsible leaders who brought us here. This war is a crime against humanity, and it's your responsibility to invoke your power to stop illegal actions you have control over. Our president lied, and in the process has killed so money, and you have done nothing about this.

Be it resolved that 11% of this nation hasn't a clue what they're talking about.
