Why do people think they can reform politicians who are clearly acting for special interests and have always done so? Take the road less travelled that might actually yield results--support candidates who represent what you want instead of trying to twist the arms of lesser evil incumbents. Help make elected officials fear for their jobs if they do not vote in the public interest!

Take a long term perspective. Even if Emanuel votes how you want on the war, you will continue to have to fight him in the future. He could regress at any moment, and their are other issues besides the war.

Emanuel has a Green Party challenger in 2008, Alan Augustson. His website is:

If you don't like Alan's platform and credentials, support another 3rd party or independent candidate. Or put your own name on the ballot! It isn't difficult to do.

But stop try to coerce the same crap that is never going to be what you want it to be. That is madness.
