Capitol Hill Update, April 2007

We don't like nuclear weapons. We don't think the U.S. should build new ones. We're working to deny funding to the administration's plan to do so.

(We like our kids and our parents and our friends, and want them to stay, well, alive.) You can help!

No new nuclear bomb plant!
No new nuclear arms race!
If you thought the U.S. was done making new nuclear weapons, think again.
Then get in touch with Congress to say: don't start a new nuclear arms race. | More here.

In-District Lobby Days | May 28 – June 1
As part of coalition efforts to prevent a U.S. military attack on Iran, organizations are joining together to call for “In-District Lobby Days” during the Congressional recess May 28-June 1, 2007.

During this time, Members of Congress will be in their home districts. This presents an effective opportunity for grassroots activists to meet with their Members of Congress.

This coalition has prepared a toolkit, with information on how to schedule a meeting, talking points, tips for successful lobby visits, and a meeting debriefing form. Contact cong@armscontrolcenter.org for more information.


Iran update from Capitol Hill, April 17
We were not successful in our efforts to incorporate language into the FY07 supplemental appropriations bill requiring Congressional authorization before a military strike on Iran. Iraq is the huge issue on the supplemental and it was not possible to address Iran at the same time.

However, many Members of Congress are pressing to include language limiting military action against Iran in legislation scheduled for future consideration. That legislation could include the FY08 defense authorization, the FY08 defense appropriations bill, or others. Advocates are also working to incorporate language into legislative vehicles calling for emphasizing dialogue and diplomacy with Iran.


FEDERAL BUDGET WATCH

Notes from the WAND News Bulletin editor
I'm paying for war this April 15. War. Bombs, guns, tanks, jets, bullets, missile defense boondoggle.

I don't want to pay for war. I don't want to think that what makes our country great is that fact that we can pulverize our opponents. I don't want to think that the lobbyists for the defense contractors/arms manufacturers are shaping our federal budget.

But I gotta face facts. And the fact is, when our jets go screaming over a city and drop bombs onto houses and shatter the bones and flesh of the people inside: I paid for that.

And when the levies break because we didn't invest, and thousands of poor people are flooded out of their homes; and nine million kids don't have health insurance: I didn't pay for that.

That's my money! When do I get to say where it goes? Howzabout soon?


Tax Day! Do you know where your tax dollars are going?
When I put that whopping check in the mail on April 15, I like to think of... small children getting free lunch at school... young men rebuilding houses for poor people on the Gulf Coast... health services for our veterans... But that's NOT where most of my money goes.
This year, why not do something about it?

This April, the National Priorities Project brings you Where Do Your Tax Dollars Go?, a breakdown of how the federal government spent the average household's 2006 tax payment in each state and over 200 cities.

Here's the bottom line: nearly 40 cents of your income tax dollar went towards past and present military spending. Spending on preventive security measures such as diplomacy and economic development assistance amounted to only three-quarters of a penny. Hundredths of a penny went towards investing in renewable energy and conservation. Basic needs such as affordable housing, education and nutrition got only a few pennies each.

All this while the taxpayer cost for the Iraq War climbs to nearly half a trillion dollars.

If you want to find out how the federal government spent your individual 2006 tax payment, go to our Interactive Income Tax Chart.


Progressive Taxation: Some Hidden Truths
by George Lakoff and Bruce Budner | CommonDreams.org
Full article here.

...Taxes are part of our common wealth, what we all share. Protection and empowerment serve the common good. Because of our common wealth, we are all protected and America’s empowering infrastructure is available to all. That is a fundamental America value: the common wealth should serve the common good. It benefits everyone.

Citizens are financially responsible to maintain this common wealth. If we shirked this responsibility, we could not maintain our roads, fund our schools, protect ourselves from military threats, enforce our laws, and so on. Equally importantly, we could not create prosperity for ourselves, because we would have no protection of our intellectual property, no oversight of our markets, no means to enforce our contracts, no way to educate most of our children.

Several main progressive values support the idea of progressive taxation. One is the belief that the common wealth should be used for the common good. Another is responsibility, the responsibility that citizens have to pay for the benefits we receive from our common wealth. And still another is fairness. These values intertwine on the question of progressive taxation.

Sharing The Burden of War and Taxes
by David Abromowitz and Joan Ruttenberg
The Boston Globe
, April 9, 2007

TAX DAY is coming. For most Americans, it’s merely a reminder to get that paperwork done. But for many years, tax day reminded Americans that war means sacrifice. Since Sept. 11, 2001, President Bush has often invoked a spirit of sacrifice and dedication to the greater good. Yet this call to sacrifice has not made it into the administration’s economic and tax policies.

In past wars, those who could most afford to pay did so. During World War II, marginal tax rates on the wealthy reached over 90 percent. During wars in Korea and Vietnam, and throughout the Cold War, the most fortunate among us contributed almost as heavily to the national effort, paying at marginal rates of over 50 percent. Economic sacrifices were shared.

But now the Bush White House insists that those making $300,000 and up — already paying the lowest tax rates in 50 years — needn’t bother to pay a penny more toward national needs. This, despite stepped-up national security needs, active wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq, and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

In fact, since top tax rates were cut to 35 percent in 2003, millions of fortunate families, including our family, now pay many thousands of dollars less per year in taxes than we did before Sept. 11. Where’s the sacrifice in that?


Soak the rest of us
The Boston Globe, April 15, 2007

...It just so happens that Piketty, an economist at the Paris School of Economics, and Saez, who teaches at the University of California at Berkeley, have published another paper, in the current Journal of Economic Perspectives, that examines how all taxes -- from payroll taxes through income and estate taxes -- affect Americans at each income level, and how tax burdens have changed over the past generation. Their short answer: The rich are paying less than ever.

What's more, Piketty and Saez's data suggest that we're approaching a historic threshold: Should current trends continue -- from higher payroll taxes to the potential impact of the Alternative Minimum Tax on middle-class earners -- the US system could tip from progressive to flat in a matter of years, at least for the top half of earners.


Abandoned homefront
By Brian McGrory, The Boston Globe | April 11, 2007
...Suppose Boston got to keep just one-tenth of the money it sent off to Iraq. Ten percent of $855 million is $85.5 million, give or take a few rubles. What might we have done with that?

We were driving through Roxbury in his sport utility vehicle when I asked Menino that exact question the other night. "We could do a lot of things," he said solemnly. "Extended school hours, poverty programs, workforce development programs, all these things. There's so much you could do. And we wouldn't have to go begging."

For that amount of money, the city could fund an additional 170 police officers, salary and benefits, for the next five years. Or it could fund 100 additional officers and have $45 million to hire outreach workers, build the Rev. Gene Rivers his boxing gym, put thousands more kids in summer jobs.

Oregon WAND would rather pay for signs than WAR!

On Tax Weekend, WAND and Taxes for Peace Not War organized a march from the IRS building to the Free Speech Plaza at 8th and Oak in Eugene. Susan Cundiff of Oregon WAND reports: "We had great fun even though we got drenched and chilled. We will probably repeat the ice cream and cookie demo this summer without the march. People enjoyed filling in the signs."

Also in Eugene, the now traditional tax day "Penny Poll" outside the downtown Eugene post office took place on April 16.


Report on CEDAW (Treaty for the Rights of Women) this Mother's Day

www.womenstreaty.org - While the Treaty for the Rights of Women has always had bi-partisan support, it has never reached the floor of the Senate for action. Now – with women in the United States taking on greater leadership roles, supporting their families and voting in record numbers – it is time for us to stand with women and girls who are fighting for their rights and urge all Senators to ratify the treaty.

Women are winning important reforms by using the treaty – against sex slavery, domestic violence and trafficking; girls are receiving primary education for the first time, women’s lives during pregnancy and childbirth are being protected and women have secured the right to own or inherit property.

Mother’s Day is the right time for us to affirm the universality of the human rights of women and be on their side of the fight for the rights of women.
Take action today.

  • Honor your mother and women around world. Write or call your Senators and urge them to place statements in the Congressional Record supporting women’s human rights and calling for the ratification of the Treaty for the Rights of Women (CEDAW).

NUCLEAR NOTES

RRW? Really Really Wacky
Redundant Retro Weapons
Regressive Rotten Way
Ridiculous Ruthless Warmongering

It's true. The W administration wants to spend YOUR money on building new nukes. At the same time, they want to threaten to spend your money on military action against Iran -- because Iran may build new nukes.

Figure that one out. Or not. It's the kind of twisted illogic that we've come to accept from this administration. Do as we say, not as we do.

The administration is requesting funds for what they like to call "Complex 2030" (some good innocuous branding there). We like to call it "Bombplex," cuz that's what it's really about. Nuclear bombs. Nuclear bombs.

You thought we learned our lesson and put them safely away, right? Ha. Not only are they still around, but we're going to make more of them. And this time, better, smaller, more usable.

That ain't right. Just. Not.

WAND's action alert.

Some things various experts have to say about that.

No new nuclear bomb plant!
No new nuclear arms race!
If you thought the U.S. was done making new nuclear weapons, think again.
Then get in touch with Congress to say: don't start a new nuclear arms race.

 


U.S. Nukes Plan Viewed as Provocative
Eli Clifton | Inter Press Service News Agency

WASHINGTON, Mar 22 (IPS) - The announcement earlier this month that the United States will pursue the design and construction of new nuclear weapons has not been warmly embraced by the rest of the world.

In fact, most people outside the country view the move as more evidence of a policy favouring unilateralism and the pursuit of absolute military superiority, according to a report written last December but just released Wednesday on global perceptions of U.S. nuclear policy.


Complex 2030: The Costs and Consequences of the Plan to Build a New Generation of Nuclear Weapons
by William D. Hartung and Frida Berrigan April 2007
Report on Complex 2030 | Click here.

The Bush administration’s nuclear policy has been marked by dangerous inconsistencies. It has taken a strong rhetorical stand against the spread of nuclear weapons, which President Bush has described as “weapons of mass murder.” But in the mean time, the administration’s Nuclear Posture Review calls for the development of new nuclear weapons.

This “do as I say, not as I do” approach to nuclear weapons has undermined U.S. efforts to curb nuclear proliferation. Beyond this central contradiction, the administration’s approach to the issue has ranged from launching a preventive war against a country that did not have a nuclear weapons program (Iraq), to threatening a country that most experts agree is years away from developing them (Iran), to delaying a critical dialogue with a country believed to have the beginnings of a nuclear arsenal (North Korea). To its credit, the administration has recently come to agreement with North Korea on initial steps that could lead to the elimination of Pyongyang’s nuclear arsenal.

The centerpiece of the administration’s move towards developing a new generation of nuclear weapons is “Complex 2030,” a multi-year plan that would build new or upgraded facilities at each of the National Nuclear Security Administration’s eight nuclear weapons-related sites.
The plan also calls for building a new nuclear weapon, the Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW). While current plans call for developing the RRW without nuclear testing, this attitude could change if the program moves towards deployment. In addition, the RRW program will establish the infrastructure needed to develop new warheads with new capabilities in the future. As the Department of Energy notes in its own summary of the Complex 2030 plan, one of the major goals of the effort is to “improve the capability to design, develop, certify and complete production of new or adapted warheads in the event of new military requirements.”

This report focuses on the economic and budgetary costs of the Complex 2030 plan, the interests that stand to benefit from it, and the domestic political debate that is likely to determine the future of this initiative.


Congress cool to nuclear warhead plan
By H. Josef Hebert, Boston Globe | March 29, 2007

WASHINGTON --An administration proposal to build a new generation of more reliable nuclear warheads to replace the current stockpile was met with skepticism Thursday from key lawmakers who will decide how much money to give the program.
Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-Ind., chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee with jurisdiction over nuclear weapons programs, said he was "troubled by the giddiness" at the Energy Department over development of the new warhead program.

The panel's ranking Republican, Rep. David Hobson, R-Ohio, said he was worried the warhead development was aimed not so much to meet the military's requirements but "to prove that we can still design nuclear weapons."

Separately, three experts on nuclear nonproliferation, including a former defense secretary and former Sen. Sam Nunn, said that building a new warhead -- even if only a replacement -- sends the wrong message to the world and could make all the more difficult the resolution of the nuclear problems with Iran and North Korea.

With nuclear power, hopes turn to ashes
By DIANNE VALENTIN | Atlanta Journal Constitution | 04/02/07

After World War II and the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear technology was supposed to be used for peaceful purposes.

We were promised that nuclear power would be "too cheap to meter" and that the lethal, radioactive waste produced each day from reactor operation would be long gone. A safe investment in the future, and a clean form of energy?


IRAQ UPDATES

The long road to end the Iraq war: Report from Capitol Hill
From our good friend Carly Chomer at Win Without War

Congress returned to Washington this week to begin negotiations on the Iraq war supplemental appropriations bill. At the end of March, both the House and Senate passed versions of the funding bill that set timelines for troop withdrawal from Iraq. While the Senate language would require the redeployment of U.S. troops to begin in 120 days from enactment, it sets a goal of having all combat troops out of Iraq by March 2008. The House, on the other hand, does not have a firm timeline for initiating withdrawal but requires most U.S. troops to be redeployed by October 2008.

The chosen negotiators from both the House and Senate will come together in conference committee early this week to begin the process of reaching a consensus on the bill’s language. Once a compromise is reached, the bill will go back to both chambers for final passage before heading to the president’s desk. Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV), chair of the conference committee, recently indicated that he intends to complete the supplemental process by the end of next week.

While the president continues to threaten Congress with a veto on any legislation with a timeline for withdrawal, the leadership in Congress and the American people remain committed to ensuring a debate on Iraq and finding a date to bring our troops home. The debate on the supplemental will likely continue through the end of April, but in early May, the next opportunity for Congressional action on Iraq will present itself with the authorization and appropriation bills that will fund the Defense Department in FY08.



That's our good friend Darcy Scott Martin!  

Every week, the Anti-War Room on www.StandUpCongress.org - a website dedicated to helping citizens brave the Congressional labyrinth of crucial Iraq legislation - features online briefings with the latest information on Iraq coming from Capitol Hill. The briefings are hosted by Tom Andrews, National Director of Win Without War, and Darcy Scott Martin, former Washington Director of WAND!

WAND is an active partner in the Win Without War coalition; and with StandUpCongress.org, and we remain committed to keeping you informed of all the developments on Iraq.


Retired Generals Robert Gard and John Johns Join Senator Harry Reid Speak Out Against Iraq War

View the video of the press conference.

“The Iraqi people understand the situation there better than those who are advocating to continue the current course,” said Lt. Gen. Gard. “We have lost the support and the confidence of the Iraqi people and you can’t win without it."...

Gen. Gard concluded with a striking comparison to Vietnam, a conflict in which he and Johns both served: “The current situation is reminiscent of the spring of 1968 in Vietnam. Both the then Secretary of Defense and the President knew the war was unwinnable militarily, but because the President didn’t want to be tarred with losing a war, he continued on for five more years and 34,000 more combat deaths.”


Tenet's Tell-All Is a Slam Dunk to Provoke Invasion's Architects
By Al Kamen | Washington Post | April 16, 2007

The drums have begun sounding for the long-awaited book by former CIA director George Tenet, in which he gives his take on pre-9/11 days and on Saddam's huge cache of weapons of mass destruction.

And the drums are saying that Tenet is not going to get too many Christmas cards from Vice President Cheney's office after they read "At the Center of the Storm." Folks from down the river at the Pentagon, including former deputy secretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz-- a guy who's already going through a rough patch -- and former defense undersecretary Douglas Feith, might also get some heartburn...

Tenet will be interviewed on "60 Minutes" on April 29.

Project on Defense Alternatives: Confronting Iran
Critical perspectives on the current crisis, its origins, and implications


Iran update from Capitol Hill, April 17
We were not successful in our efforts to incorporate language into the FY07 supplemental appropriations bill requiring Congressional authorization before a military strike on Iran. Iraq is the huge issue on the supplemental and it was not possible to address Iran at the same time.

However, many Members of Congress are pressing to include language limiting military action against Iran in legislation scheduled for future consideration. That legislation could include the FY08 defense authorization, the FY08 defense appropriations bill, or others. Advocates are also working to incorporate language into legislative vehicles calling for emphasizing dialogue and diplomacy with Iran.


Preventive war? Preventive action.
The time to stop the next war is now.
While Congress wrangles over funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, many believe that the administration is considering undertaking yet another military action on foreign shores -- this time, in Iran. This, despite the fact that the situation in Iraq has clearly shown that using force before we have exhausted every other alternative is foolish, deadly, and counterproductive.

NEWS FROM WiLL


States Say "No" to the Troop Escalation in Iraq

Rendering Unto Caesar: Tax Time Again
With so many of our dollars going to fight a war so few of us believe in, tax time inundates us with an ethical dilemma.
Some of us pay our taxes with a grumble, others are war tax resisters, and some pay taxes while advocating for a shift in federal spending priorities—but we each have to decide for ourselves how we will navigate life as a citizen of the empire.
