Duluth Central Labor says:
'Organize to stop trigger-happy Texan'
The Duluth, Minn., Central Labor Body, which represents
all 15,000 AFL-CIO union members in the region, voted
unanimously on Nov. 14 to pass the following anti-war
resolution:
Whereas, the United States and Britain have been bombing
Iraq on a virtually continuous basis since the end of the Gulf
War, and
Whereas, the Bush administration has presented no credible
evidence that Iraq has intentions of harming the citizens of
this country or that Iraq presents a threat to the United
States, and
Whereas, the Bush administration is seeking any pretext to
overthrow the government of a sovereign nation, in violation of
international law, and
Whereas, a war with Iraq would require the re-direction of
vital resources and funds to a destructive, senseless, and
illegal goal while further strengthening an administration that
has restricted the civil liberties of its citizens, and
Whereas, this administration is using the so-called "War on
Terrorism" to distract the American people from the vital
issues they confront,
Therefore, be it resolved that the Duluth Central Labor Body
goes on record as strenuously opposing the Bush
administration's march toward war with Iraq without the
direction of the United Nations,
And be it further resolved that the Duluth Central Labor
Body urge its members and affiliates to get involved with
organizations working toward stopping the trigger happy Texan's
march toward war with Iraq.
