WAR AND PEACE
May 20, 2011
Dear Friends,
This week, the Republicans inserted a provision into the Defense Authorization bill allowing the President to engage in perpetual warfare against terrorism. The American Civil Liberties Union calls this the 'single biggest hand-over of unchecked war authority from Congress to the executive branch in modern American history' -- and they are right. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution makes it clear that it is the responsibility of Congress to consider our President’s decision before involving ourselves in any military conflict. If we don’t assert our constitutional authority in something as serious as war, we are slowly undermining our democratic principles.
