A Message From DENNIS KUCINICH

( – promoted by buhdydharma )

An important message from the always great Dennis Kucinich:

Time to cut off the damn War Funding!!

Kucinich has a new “privileged” House Resoulution (which means that the House has to act on it) to Remove U.S. Ground Forces in Pakistan.

The House Conference Resolution Number is 301.

Kucinich is calling on our help from the progressive grassroots to call your Congressman and participate in supporting this right now. He also cites direct violations of the 1973 War Powers Act, by the Obama administration, in their backdoor pursuit of this 3rd Middle-East War (and War Crimes).

It’s a worthy cause!

    And Kuch, you gotta stay the hell off of Air Force One if you’re going to make noises about standing for anything.  People are sick of the Dems folding.  

  4. Congress is voting (on more of less the Senante version) on the $33bn for escalating the war in Afghanistan THIS WEEK!





    This is it!

    Congress Votes on War Funding

    This Week

    TELL THEM

    S T O P

    THE BUCKS

    H E R E !!



    On the House calendar as early as Monday is a vote on a $33 billion supplemental bill to escalate the war in Afghanistan.

    The Senate did not accept the House version.  The House will now likely vote on the Senate version or something close to it.

    (That means a pig with no lipstick, no poison pill with no sugar coating – no funds for teachers or Haiti relief – nothing but pure and simple funding for more war, more killing, more corruption, more war lords and drug peddlers – which equals fewer teachers, less healthcare, no aid to cities and state budgets, no new jobs programs, no infrastructure repair!)

    This will likely mean something quite unusual: a straightforward vote in which “yes” means yes (a bigger war), and “no” means NO.

    We will now be able to identify clearly and unambiguously the war supporters and war opponents.

    Those who vote to fund the escalation will need to be punished and those who vote to stop the funding should be rewarded while they’re home for the August recess and again at the polls in November.

    And the closer we come to defeating the bill, the more we will have to build on as the peace movement joins with the labor and civil rights movements this fall for a giant march on Washington for jobs, peace and justice on October 2nd (with satellite demonstrations in San Francisco, Phoenix and New Orleans).

    Our message is simple:

    Vote “NO” on funding this escalation of war.

    Insist on a recorded roll call vote so the public can see who really wants to end the waste of lives and treasure.
