Hawaii Legislature Takes Steps to End War
Hawaii Legislature Takes Steps to End War
By David Swanson
The Hawaii State Senate has passed a
resolution "CALLING UPON THE GOVERNOR OF HAWAII TO TAKE
STEPS TO WITHDRAW THE HAWAII ARMY AND AIR NATIONAL GUARD
TROOPS FROM IRAQ." The resolution is a thing of beauty, has
been mailed to the Governor and the President, and can be
read at

Both houses of Hawaii's legislature are set to vote on a
resolution "REQUESTING THE ADJUTANT GENERAL OF THE HAWAII
NATIONAL GUARD TO PROVIDE MEMBERS AND VETERANS OF THE ARMED
FORCES HEALTH SCREENING FOR DEPLETED URANIUM EXPOSURE AND TO
REPORT ON THE SCOPE AND ADEQUACY OF DEPLETED URANIUM STORAGE
AND DISPOSAL IN HAWAII." This resolution, too, seems like a
good model for other states. Here's the text:

Citizens of Hawaii who have promoted these steps include Karin Gill and Marsha Joyner of CODE PINK, Ann Wright who retired from the diplomatic service in protest the day the war began, Irradiated Veterans, and Life of the Land.
