Troop surge opposition

117 of the 187 General Assembly members have signed onto a letter to oppose the deployment of more troops to Iraq (by Brian Lockhart). And for years, no one... at least not the leadership... in Hartford has taken serious action to help us reduce our consumption of foreign oil.

So this letter made me wonder... of the 187 legislators, who feels that America's consumption of oil is related to our problems in the middle east?

I don't yet know who of the 187 legislators signed this letter. But for anyone (excluding freshmen) who have signed this letter, yet never taken serious action to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, I find their hypocrisy stunning.
