Dennis Kucinich’s War Powers Act vote to end US involvement in the war in Libya, known as House Concurrent Resolution 51, will get a vote in the House tomorrow. In a letter to supporters, Kucinich laid out his reasons for calling up the vote:

This vote shouldn’t be necessary, of course. The United States Constitution requires congressional authorization to go to war. The administration has disregarded the Constitution. Instead, they have spun the conflict as a minor intervention or as part of NATO, but the fact remains that we’re bombing another country and we pay, by far, the largest percentage of NATO’s military bills. This is a war that we’re leading – and it’s a war that violates our Constitution and the War Powers Act. It’s time we end this war.

Congress must find its voice and the American people must call upon Congress to take the Administration off the war path.
