CodePink of the Ozarks will attend tonight's Springfield City Council meeting, urging them to adopt a resolution that requires the President to receive Congressional authorization before any military action against Iran.Not exactly pit bull drama, but CodePink always figures out a way to get noticed.
This comes on the same day Iran's president put on an international show at Columbia University, questioning the official cause of September 11th, and again questioning the Holocaust.
CodePink will also request passage of a resolution that ensures our relations with Iran "are onsistent with international law" and "encourages talks without preconditions between the U.S. and Iran."
"For those who say this is not a local issue, I say tell that to the citizens of Greensburg, Kansas, who didn't have the necessary resources after an F-5 tornado ravaged their town because the necessary resources of the National Guard were in Iraq," says Gary Wilson of CodePink of the Ozarks.
"All that we are asking for is that the city draft and adopt a resolution that demands our Congress and the current administration follow the constitution, international law, and the U.N. I don't think that is too much to ask of anyone. I can't think of anything more American and patriotic," Wilson says.
The meeting begins in Council Chambers at 7 p.m. tonight.

How, exactly, will it help end our being in Iraq, if our City Council passes a resolution?
What a monumental waste of time and city resources. Take it to another venue, Code Pink. Like the state capitol. Mayor Tom can't stop the war.
Are any of the members of Code Pink, members of the National Guard? I don't think so!
If they volunteered for the Guard, rather than spending all of their time trying to impeach a President, maybe the National Guard would have the resources to assist in Greenburg, Kansas.
They all want to impeach Bush, but none of them have presented an impeachable offense. I am open to the fact that the President may have committed such an offense, I just want to know exactly what they say it is.
