Please forward to all anti-war networks. The emergency supplemental will be voted on tomorrow (Thursday). Rep. Rohrabacher, supported by Rep. Kucinich, will introduce an amendment to remove funding for the war in Yugoslavia. Based on the previous vote on the resolution in support of the air war, this amendment could pass if there is grassroots pressure in favor of it. If the amendment passes it will dramatically increase pressure on the Administration to stop the bombing and seriously pursue negotiations. Moreover, the if the Congress approves the authorization of funds the Administration is expected to use this to argue that the requirements of the War Powers Act have been fulfilled, that they have Congressional authorization for the war. Thus it is doubly important that this money not be approved by the House. Please call your Rep. ASAP and ask her/him to support the Rohrabacher amendment to eliminate funding for the war from the emergency supplemental. It is especially urgent to contact those Reps who voted in favor of requiring explicit Congressional approval for ground troops and/or opposed the Senate Resolution supporting the air war, be they Democratic or Republican. The Congressional switchboard is 202-225-3121, from which you can be transferred to your Rep. Thanks, Robert Naiman
