HAWAII RESOLVES TO END THE WAR
Friday, September 01, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com
At least one state is taking the next step to attempt to end the war in Iraq.
According to an Op Ed News article, the Hawaii State Senate has just passed a
resolution, "Calling upon the governor of Hawaii to take steps to withdraw
the Hawaii Army and Air National Guard Troops from Iraq."
The resolution has been mailed to both the Governor and the President.
Meanwhile, both houses of the legislature are also set to vote on another
measure, which calls for "The Adjutant General of the Hawii National Guard to
provide members and veterans of the armed forces health screening for
depleted uranium exposure and to report on the scope and adequacy of
depeleted uranium storage and disposal in Hawaii."
The story notes that the driving forces behind putting these resolutions
before their representatives are Karin Gill and Marsha Joyner of CODE PINK,
Ann Wright (who retired from the diplomatic service in protest the day the
war began), Irradiated Veterans and Life of the Land. - ST
