War mongers in congress are on the march again. This time they are pushing a resolution called H.con.Res. 362. They want to impose a land, sea, and air blockade on Iran to prevent it from importing gasoline and to subject all cargo entering or leaving Iran to harsh inspection requirement.

This is how they treated Iraq. This time they are not even asking for the UN approval. The majority of the names belonged to Republican party congressmen/women. The list of the war mongers has some surprises too. Among the 165 congressmen and women 76 of them are from the Democratic Party.  We see names like Henry Waxman , Jane Harman, Democrats from California.  Jesse Jackson (JR) of Illinois and The Rahm Emanual (the hero of the democrats) of Illinois. Isn't Democratic party supposed to be the anti war party?

The question is what can we do? Call your representative and ask him/her not to vote for this resolution. You can go to National Iranian American Council [1] to find your representative’s phone number or email address.
