This is from the section of the joint Resolution for the Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Iraq that authorizes the use of military force by the President:
SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.
(a) AUTHORIZATION. The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to
(1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and
(2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq.
So here are some questions we have:
1. How does the present Iraq government pose a "continuing threat" to the security of the United States;
2. What relevant United Nations Security Council Resolution regarding Iraq is being enforced by the United States military in Iraq; and
3. Why don't Democrats talk more about this resolution in their speeches and remarks against the war in Iraq?
The resolution doesn't call for continuing war in Iraq, rather it calls for the accomplishments of certain goals. If those goals have been met, then under what authorization is the President keeping the military in Iraq?

Get as many people to make these phone calls.
Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.
Call GOP contributor Rite Aid at 1-800-325-3737 and tell the person to get the CEO to get the GOP to enact HR 676 Single payer health care and repeal Medicare Part D and place the drug benefit in Medicare Part B covering 80% of drugs with no extra premiums, no extra deductibles, no means tests, no coverage gaps, and remove the means test for Medicare Part B and until that happens, you won't buy ANYTHING from Rite Aid.

I have started a new political party called the Liberal Democratic Party of the United States. You can read the web page at http://www.dmocrats.org and you will find that this party works differently from other political parties. Take a look and help enact progressive legislation and end the war where you work as a legislator and you vote on legislation.
