'''Type:''' Organization Resolution | |||
'''Status:''' Adopted | |||
'''Date:''' January 10, 2007 | |||
'''Text:''' | |||
Whereas the war in Iraq has more to do with oil and increasing profits for | |||
the military-industrial complex rather than the Bush Administration | |||
deceptions that have been exposed as lies while the war and occupation is | |||
ongoing; and | |||
Whereas Administration claims that stability, democracy, and prosperity are | |||
around the corner while each day that the U.S. stays, the violence and lack | |||
of security facing our troops and the Iraqi people worsen; and | |||
Whereas our November elections sent a clear message that voters reject the | |||
Iraq war, and opinion polls show that seven in 10 Iraqis want the troops to | |||
leave sooner rather than later, and most U.S. military and political leaders | |||
agree that staying the course is a failed policy; and | |||
Whereas even former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger insists that no | |||
military victory in Iraq is possible and (Ret.) Lt. Gen. William Odom | |||
calls for "complete withdrawal" of U.S. troops; and | |||
Whereas the war can't continue without war funding; and | |||
Whereas a major factor in ending the Vietnam war was the cut-off of funding | |||
by Congress; and | |||
Whereas Pres. Bush will soon ask for further war funding - up to $160 | |||
billion on top of last October¹s $70 billion increase, money needed here for | |||
health care, education, rebuilding failing infrastructure, etc.; therefore, | |||
Be it resolved that U.A. Local 393 communicate its opposition to continued | |||
war funding - except to bring our troops home safely, and take care of them | |||
when they get here - directly with our Representatives in Congress; and | |||
Be it further resolved that we call upon the South Bay AFL-CIO Labor | |||
Council, the U.A. and others to join us in this resolve to Bring Our Troops | |||
Home Now - Money for People's Needs, Not War - Solidarity with Iraqi | |||
