    Re: Resolution!

    Please help the City of Sebastopol, and every city and state across our country, to end the policy and funding for undeclared, wars of choice, not defense; by adding this issue to the resolution regarding Occupy Sebastopol, which the city will be voting on this Tue, 12/06/2011 - 6:00pm - 10:00pm.

    Require your local, state and federal government, as well as, regional & national Occupy groups to endorse this as well.

    Ending the funding for strike first foreign policies, which make us less safe at home, and a continued target abroad; as well as, the deep financial debt we incur each day these policies are not ended; is a greater priority than anything else.

    Yes, there are many more very important issues the Occupy movement has brought to light; but this does not surpass the unending loss of human life done in our name, with our escalating debt.

    We can stop it, just like we did with Viet Nam; if each Occupy, and each city, county and state; pass a strong resolution, standing for peace, with no use of military force; without the Constitutional requirement for a declaration of war, and only for the purposes of defense.

    WHEREAS the City of Sebastopol wants an end to the concenrtration of wealth and power in the hands of the top one percent of the American people, an end to austerity measures that widen this gap, and an end to systems that further impoverish working people and harm the environment;
