It came from the email box ( and from a dubious source)

I'm not accounting for the accuracy of this... but I think this source may be right ( but I sure as heck hope not)

and strangely no Cuban members of congress are there

Congressional Hispanic Caucus to vote for
the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq

A poll of the 21 members of the Congressional Hispanic
Caucus indicates that they will be voting for the withdrawal
of US troops from Iraq in a historic vote expected to take
place at 7:00 PM (EST) tonight. The caucus voted
unanimously against a resolution authorizing George Bush to
attack Iraq on Friday, October 11, 2002. That Roll Call
Vote is published at: http://www.aztlan.net/rollcallvote.htm

Attacking Iraq was a major mistake. The war was justified by
the Bush Administration through shameful lies and deceit.
As of today it has cost the lives of 2,085 US soldiers and
15,568 US soldiers wounded. Approximately 15% of these are
Mexican-American and other Latinos. It is estimated that
60, 000 Iraqi civilians have been killed. Many of these are
women and children.

If the Roll Call Vote takes place tonight as expected, La
Voz de Aztlan will report on how each elected representative
voted.
