ACTION ALERT




Veterans for America urges support for Senator Byrd’s resolution requiring that the President receive congressional authorization prior to any offensive military action against another country.











Demand Congressional Action!




We rushed into our war with Iraq without sufficient congressional involvement, and the consequences have been dire, far-reaching, and irrevocable.

Political action is the ONLY way to prevent this from happening again.

The 110th Congress campaigned with the promise to reengage in war making decisions and we empowered them accordingly. We must hold them to this promise.

Recently, Senator Robert C. Byrd (D-West Virginia) introduced a much-needed resolution that states that Congress must approve any offensive military action taken by the United States against another country.

Veterans for America strongly supports Senator Byrd’s resolution, and we are working to rally support for it. To join our effort, please contact your Senators and urge them to co-sponsor Senate Resolution 39.

2. Veterans for America was Vietnam Veterans of America

They have my support. I think the Byrd Amendment is another good Democratic idea to contain the Bush Administration and keep them from plunging us into further wars.

Good job.

3. Wouldn't Mitch McConnell look stupid to argue against this?

Arguing that the Senate, indeed Congress itself, shouldn't limit the powers of the Executive branch?

Do you think he'll filibuster this?
