I am aware that many of my constituents hope that I vote ``no'' on this supplemental appropriations bill. Many of my constituents are passionate in their opposition to the Iraqi invasion. Last fall, I voted against the resolution that authorized the invasion because I believed the invasion was a mistake for our country. But that fact is this: The resolution passed the Congress. Whether or not one agreed with the actions that led up to today, America's troops are now in the field and the bills need to be paid. Accordingly, I will vote ``aye'' on this bill.
