Kucinich measure to end Afghanistan war gains cosponsors
http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2009/12/kucinich_measure_to...
Dennis Kucinich's proposed congressional effort to end the Afghanistan war has gained a dozen bipartisan cosponsors during the week the Cleveland Democrat has circulated it.
Here's the cosponsor list provided by Kucinich's office: John Conyers, Jr.; (D-MI); Ron E. Paul (R-TX); Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD); Bob Filner (D-CA); Walter Jones, Jr. (R-NC); Lynn Woolsey (D-CA); Edward Whitfield (R-KY); Michael Capuano (D-MA); Timothy V. Johnson (R-IL); Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ); Eric Massa (D-NY); and Alan Grayson (D-FL).
"At a time when 15 milllion people are unemployed we cannot continue spending hundreds of billions of dollars on disastrous wars," Kucinich said in a press release. "My resolution will force a debate and vote on the war in Afghanistan. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority to start and end wars."
Kucinich's office said a similar privileged resolution to end the war in Pakistan will be introduced at a later date. Privileged resolutions require a House of Representatives debate within 15 days of introduction.
