Reply #69: Exactly my thoughts. 274 groups suported Space Ban Bill

[Tinoire]

As you say who better than a US Congressman to know how far these things have gone and are going?

Congressman Kucinich, whose popularity is growing rapidly around the U.S. and the world, is Co-Chair of the U.S. House of Representatives Aviation and Space Caucus, Co-Chair of the Baltic Caucus, Chairman of the Progressive Caucus, and is on the Board of the Parliamentarians for Global Action. His Space Preservation Act and its companion Space Preservation Treaty will establish a permanent ban on all space-based weapons, on the use of weapons to destroy or damage objects in space that are in orbit; and will permanently terminate the research and development, testing, manufacturing, production and deployment of all space-based weapons.

Vancouver, B.C.-based ICIS Director Alfred Webre, JD, MEd states, "Berkeley Resolution #61744 has been passed at a crucial historic moment. Because of the imminent weaponization of space, we are urging Canada and other U.N. Member Nations to convene an emergency Treaty-signing Conference to facilitate the signing and ratification of the Space Preservation Treaty by world leaders, similar to the Treaty-signing Conference held in Canada in December, 1997, where 122 countries signed the Convention Banning Land Mines, known as the Ottawa Convention. The vehicles needed to accomplish this important goal already are in place. Svend Robinson, a Member of Parliament in Canada, introduced Motion M-527 June 20, 2002, calling on 'Canada to lead an international effort to ban the introduction of all weapons in space through a binding international agreement against the weaponization of space.' Canadian Senator Douglas Roche had introduced the same motion in the Senate on June 13, 2002."

Who but a war mongerer or someone heavily invested in our Weapon's Industry could be against that?!


Post #12 here http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=108&topic_id=10913&mesg_id=10913#10931 has more information about his stance on Defense and the Space Weapons' Ban.

Peace :) and check out the 274 Groups that endorsed his Space Weapons' Ban Bill. It's comforting... And I think Kucinich can count on the support of these groups for support!
