Senator Jeanne Kohl-Welles (36th LD) has introduced SJM 8003 that:
- Calls on Congress and the President of the United States to not escalate involvement in Iraq or increase troop levels.
- Requests that Congress pass legislation requiring the President to seek Congressional approval before spending taxpayer money on any escalation of the war.
Please urge your legislators to support SJM 8003 and also call for a public hearing on it by the Senate Government Operations and Elections Committee. In the 46th LD, we have submitted a resolution in support of SJM 8003 for consideration by the membership at our Feb. 15 meeting. For a copy, see p. 5 of the 46th's Feb. newsletter:

Also looks like there is a similar bill in the House, HJM 4004.
