Tilt Target: False Pretenses   When Congress approved the Homeland Security Act granting Mr. Bush the right to declare war, the legislators were not made aware that the administration had already learned of North Korea's nukes.  In other words, this vote was held under false pretenses.  Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) voted in favor despite her constituents' pleas which ran at more than 50 to 1 against such support.  As her hawkishness consistently exceeds that of her state's voters, she appears susceptible to a tilt approach calling for the war powers vote to be revisited.  Efforts have been made to invalidate this vote, but not on these grounds.  Raising the false pretenses argument will actually induce a tilt cascade.  How?  Prior to the vote, the public may not have known about North Koreas nukes, but members of the Senate Intelligence Committee certainly did.   Tilt Target: Antitrust Tilt Target: Ashcroft Tilt Target: Budget Tilt Target: Corporate Personhood Tilt Target: Depleted Uranium Tilt Target: Environment Tilt Target: Impeach Bush Tilt Target: Intolerance Tilt Target: Voting Tilt Target: Water Privatization   Proceed To Solution Details 5: The Positive Propaganda Campaign   Proceed To Solution Details 4: The Tilt Strategy   Go To Summary 4: Goal Setting                            Go To Summary 5: Marketing The Message   Go To Main Menu
