WASHINGTON, May 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In response to reports
that Senator Hillary Clinton plans to support a bill deauthorizing the Iraq
War on October 11th, Congressman Dennis Kucinich said:
"Now that Senator Clinton supports deauthorization, will she support
defunding the war? When someone votes to fund the war 100 percent of the
time and then says she supports deauthorization, it looks like a gimmick.
Last week she voted to fund the war again. Every time she votes to fund the
war she reauthorizes it. The true test of her commitment to ending the war
is whether she'll vote to stop funding it. Congress will soon be faced with
yet another decision on whether or not to fund the war. Let's see how
Senator Clinton votes, to see if she is to be believed."
Congressman Dennis Kucinich opposed the war from the start and has
voted 100 percent of the time against funding it. When President Bush
vetoed the recent funding bill, Kucinich was the only member of the House
to vote Present. He did so because he objected to the Congressional
Democrats' position and to Bush's position. Kucinich has a plan to end the
war: HR 1234.
