[Fwd: [Peace-discuss] guess who co-sponsored Kucinich's bill for Afghanistan withdrawal?]

[David Gill]

Carl,

     Yes.  I would also be a co-sponsor of Rep. Barbara Lee's H.R. 3699, which prohibits any funding to increase the number of troops in Afghanistan.  Given what you've recently told me of Mr. Johnson, I was surprised to see that he's not among the 27 co-sponsors of that bill.

Best wishes,
David

  David--

  If you were elected Representative from the 15th Illinois CD,
  would you co-sponsor and/or vote for these bills?

  Regards, CGE

Kucinich measure to end Afghanistan war gains cosponsors

By Sabrina Eaton, The Plain Dealer

December 15, 2009, 2:40PM

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.
