Ted Moukawsher signs anti-escalation letter


Recently I noted that Elissa Wright had signed a letter being circulated at the State Capitol urging the Congress to oppose the Iraq escalation. I asked Ted Moukawsher if he had signed it to, and he wrote to say that he had. I don't think he'll mind if I share his thoughts:

Although this issue is in certain respects beyond our purview I felt the language in the letter that emphasized the role Congress should play in any decision to escalate the war was most important.  The decision the Congress initially made in leaving to the President to decide whether we should attack Iraq was shameful.  It is important that Congress reassert its constitutional responsibility in declaring and prosecuting a war.

I wonder if Jim Amann is going to sign it.
