Second District candidate Cheryl Sabel's website is up and it looks good. Sabel also issued a press release today confirming that she has endorsed the Responsible Plan to end the war in Iraq and restore our Constitution:
Today, I am pleased to announce that I am joining other progressive candidates for the U.S. Congress in endorsing “A Responsible Plan To End The War In Iraq.” The plan may be downloaded in its entirety at www.responsibleplan.com .
Important tenets of the plan:
End the presence in Iraq of U.S. troops
Address the humanitarian crisis in Iraq
Fund veterans’ care and benefits
Restore habeas corpus
End torture
Clarify that the President does not have Constitutional authority to unilaterally alter legislation through signing statement
Clarify that the Fourth Amendment requires probably cause and a warrant for the government to spy on Americans
Restore our independent media
Create a clean energy economy
Use of U.S. military force should be a last resort
I like this plan a lot and I wish all our Congressional candidates would talk about upholding the Constitution. That's pretty basic. Tell us that you support the entire Constitution and will uphold and defend it from all threats, even (especially?) those that originate here at home -- like Dick and George.
Kudos to Cheryl Sabel for being the first candidate in Alabama with the guts to endorse this plan. You can send her a thank you here. Like she says, no amount is too small.
