Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard introduces bill to end illegal war on Assad and CIA ops

[Brian4Liberty]

Hilo Tribune gave her a big article this week with the OP tag... since when does the Hilo Tribune give a big article to sane ideas? Beware.

(and again, I hope my concern is a blundering mistake)

If you are local, can you have a conversation with her?

Good question. How do you have a conversation with a Hawaii politician? I lol'd typing that. Sheesh, I can't even imagine -if their response letters are any indication. The few written responses from Hawaii Fed politicians that I've seen were typical "D" brand rubber stamp replies.
I have not had any correspondence with TG. She might be available for limited conversation at a controlled "talk story" question and rhetoric session when campaigning.

Thomas Massie signed on as a cosponsor.

Here's the text of the straightforward bill:

Tsai how do you find out which congressmen/congresswomen cosponsor this bill? I've called my congressman to consider joining this, but have no idea how to find out about whether he has or has not decided to do so.

A grand total of 2 cosponsors so far. Massie and Austin Scott-GA.

She's not afraid to go after her own party.



A Rebel. Unlike others that suck up to their party whether it's right or not...

 

[vita3]

Very happy that Massie signed on.

Probably depends upon if you are near her office. Sometimes they are available at the local office. Probably have to call and see if you could get an appointment when she is in town. (If she is even on the same island).

Heck, you could even "interview" here on this subject, and if you write something up, it can go on the front page here.

I respectively decline. Others who believe that TG will do more good than the harm that she has already approved of, are welcome to spend the time probing the depths of her mind and reporting back.

What, specifically do you mean by "the harm that she has already approved of"?

Is there anyone else in DC speaking the truth about the fact that "Regime Changing" Assad is actually illegal? If there is, they have my support as well. Maybe if Rand hadn't spent the first debate by charging at Trump he could have said more about this illegal and unconstitutional "regime change" policy that has been going on for years and years. The American people don't seem to care much, hopefully Tulsi can help.

U.S. Congresswoman: CIA Must Stop Illegal, Counterproductive War to Overthrow Assad



These wars are the most important thing right now. FFS some of these idiots are trying to provoke Russia RIGHT NOW. The warmongers and crooks have already stolen trillions of dollars from you, me and the next few generations. It's a disaster. To be fair to Rand, he is the next best thing (which isn't saying a lot) but for a Democrat to call this regime change illegal is a leap ahead.

Figures from September 2014- Click to find out what they are now http://costofwar.com/

So until someone else better comes along I'm 100% behind Tulsi Gabbard. One who isn't afraid to fight her own party and tell the truth.

 

[Jamesiv1]

Wow - she's a sharp lady. Cool, collected, well-spoken, able to express the stupidity of our foreign policies in words anyone can understand.

And then comfortably throw down some surfer jive lol

She's a keeper. I could see Rand making some campaign appearances with this woman.

 

[KingNothing]

This woman is going to be a political mega star. She's a total badass, an accomplished veteran, a relative "outsider" and a surfer who happens to be beautiful. If she manages to continually push against wars and political parties, she's got a very bright future.

And, she turns 35 in early 2016, just in time to be on a short list for appealing Democratic VP candidates. Earlier this year I thought Jim Webb had a chance to be the popular alternative to Hillary in the Democratic race (running to her left on war issues, and to her right on most domestic issues), in which case Gabbard would have been a possible running mate. Ah, what could have been.

 

[jllundqu]

Her social policy positions aside, I REALLY like this lady. I agree she has a future. Keep an eye on this one. If she starts tossing out typical progressive BS, she's been bought and paid for. If she continues to buck the system and speaks truth to power, she can go a long way. My most important issue, as a voter, is war and peace. In that vein, Ms. Gabbard is an ally.

 

[timosman]

Maybe they are grooming her to be the next Obama? It never hurts to hedge your bets. It does not matter which way the events unfold if you always have somebody in place.

I'd vote for a Webb and Gabbard ticket, just because they seem like excellent people who've actually accomplished things.

She's very clearly being groomed, that's for sure. Back in October, a series of puff pieces from major outlets started being written about her. That was no accident or coincidence, I'm sure.
