US Rep Kucinich Spanks Obama Over Libya - End the War, Sign the Petition

Libya - How We End the War

Dear Friend

Flashback to the campaign trail - December 20, 2007:

"The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."

That wasn't me. It was candidate Barack Obama. But now in Libya, President Obama is continuing a war that lacks Congressional approval and constitutional authority. Our Constitution clearly states that the United States Congress has the power to declare war. The President does not. And the War Powers Act requires him to seek Congressional approval within 60 days of conflict. That was last Friday. We've heard nothing.

If the President won't follow the Constitution and if he won't follow the War Powers Act, Congress will have to defund his intervention or take formal action to demand the President remove the troops.

I've also issued a petition that I'm asking citizens to sign to help put pressure on both parties in Congress to take this action:

While the White House spins its intervention as protecting the civilians of Libya, a no-fly-zone begins with an attack on the air defenses of Libya and Qaddafi forces. It is an act of war. The president made statements which attempt to minimize U.S. action, but U.S. planes may drop U.S. bombs and U.S. missiles may be involved in striking another sovereign nation. Although the United States (by far) pays the largest percentage of NATO's military bills (25%), the President wants to depict this as NATO's action.

You decide which country has the ability to stop this war.

The American people have had enough of war creating more enemies abroad while killing our domestic agenda here at home. Our nation simply cannot afford another war, economically, diplomatically or spiritually. Congress must find its voice and the American people must call upon Congress to take the Administration off the war path.

Please sign our petition and pressure Congress to join me in taking action.

Thanks for everything,


Dennis Kucinich

Viguerie Launches Petition, With a Goal of a Million Names, to End Federal Funding of National Public Radio (NPR)

(Manassas, Virginia)  Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, has launched a "Petition of One Million American Taxpayers to End Federal Funding of National Public Radio (NPR)."

    The online petition, which will be available soon at http://conservativehq.com/home , states that "with an almost uncountable number of news and public affairs programs throughout the nation, there is no justification for taxpayers money being used to fund a government radio network."

    In an e-mail message sent to conservative activists, Viguerie cited NPR's firing of commentator Juan Williams because Williams told the Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly that persons in Muslim garb on airplanes make him nervous.

    "It is clear NPR has no tolerance for viewpoints outside of its liberal dogmas," Viguerie wrote.  "This government censorship of ideas not in conformity with the ruling class elites is deplorable."

    Viguerie said his goal was to obtain a million names on the petition to terminate federal funding of NPR, which will be sent to members of Congress.

    He added that conservatives have long believed that NPR has an anti-conservative bias.

NH Energy Forum - Support balanced energy policies...Sign this Petition, Tell Congress to Support Expanded Domestic Production

I URGE YOU TO …Do Something

The New Hampshire Energy Forum is a resource for making your opinion count, and it is public opinion that we want to take to Congress.  Your participation is the key: sign our petition... tell others about us... or contact us (link above) saying you want to get more involved and a forum representative will contact you. Help us hold our legislators accountable for creating balanced energy policies for America, and to help this nation achieve long-term economic and energy security.

Support balanced energy policies that will deliver America’s energy security by signing the petition below.

I, the undersigned, as a citizen of the United States of America with residence in New Hampshire, petition this state’s elected officials to immediately prevent the imposition of additional taxes or fees on the energy industry, and to support a comprehensive national energy strategy that promotes the development of all forms of energy and recognizes that oil and natural gas will continue to play an important role in this nation’s energy future.

Increased taxes on the energy sector would threaten existing and new American jobs in the industry and its surrounding communities, discourage the domestic production of oil and natural gas, and contribute to the skyrocketing unemployment already harming millions of American families.  Additionally, these new taxes would increase our reliance on imported oil, threaten government revenue streams, harm energy consumers, and hamstring efforts to address climate change by discouraging the use of clean-burning natural gas.

I join the overwhelming majority of Americans who support expanded domestic production, as well as the oil and natural gas industry's role in improving the American economy, supporting American job creation, and strengthening our national energy security.

Gov. Lynch,
As a New Hampshire resident I am deeply concerned about the negative economic consequences of the proposed $30 Million tax, coming from a 5% tax increase on business owners/partners, in addition to the already existing 8.5% business profits tax for a total new tax increase of 13.5%.

We all know that small businesses are the backbone of New Hampshire's economy and the engine of growth that could lead us out of this crippling recession by creating new jobs. However this tax will punish successful small businesses, the very same people the government has spent years trying to attract to our state. Further it will limit the ability of small companies to raise capital, expand, or hire new employees. This is exactly the wrong policy for our state.

As Governor I urge you to do everything in your power to stop the implementation of this incredibly damaging tax increase.
