We Demand an
80% Democratic Party Block in Opposition to 80 Billion for War -
US Congress and Senate are preparing to approve the US Administration's request
for $80 billion more for war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Now is the time for the Democratic Party to demonstrate that it is opposed to the occupation and war in Iraq by voting as a block of 80% or better against the $80 billion war funding allocation.
Join with a growing chorus to state that unless the Democratic Party votes
as a block against the war allocation, we plan to work to build an independent
political convergence party that opposes the war. Petition We the
undersigned are opponents of the US invasion of Iraq and continuing occupation.
We hereby call upon the Democratic Party members of the US Congress and the US
Senate to vote as a block against the $80 billion bill for the US war in Iraq
and Afghanistan. We call upon you to put together a block of opposition that is
80% or better of the entire ranks of Democratic Party members in the two
houses. Should the Democratic Party fall short of that level of opposition to
continuing the funding of the US war and occupation in Iraq, we intend to
hereinafter work to support and promote an independent political convergence
party that opposes the war and opposes the Democratic Party and the Republican
Party because of their support for the war. We will work to support and promote
political candidates outside of the two war parties and to organize voters to
vote against war by rejecting the candidacies of both the Democratic Party and
the Republican Party. We call upon you now to take this specific action, to
reject the $80 billion funding for the war in Iraq as a block of 80% or better
of the total Democratic Party office holders in both houses, as a means to
demonstrate that the Democratic Party is in opposition to the US war in Iraq.
Otherwise, our next step is to work to build political opposition to your party
as we continue to oppose the Republican Party.
