On Dec. 11, the San Francisco Labor Council adopted the following resolution by unanimous vote:
Whereas the war in Iraq is continuing, and
Whereas the American people in the last election have clearly stated their opposition to this war, and
Whereas the war can’t continue without war funding, and
Whereas a major factor in ending the Vietnam war was the cut-off of funding by Congress, and
Whereas the Bush administration will ask for further funding for war early next year—up to $160 billion on top of the $70 billion approved by Congress last October; therefore,
Be it resolved that the SF Labor Council communicate its opposition to continued war funding directly with Representatives Nancy Pelosi and Tom Lantos and Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein by setting up delegations to discuss the issue of ending war funding in order to bring the troops home now.
