Thom Hartmann: The US Conference of Mayors is jumping into the anti-war effort

Thom plus logo

The US Conference of Mayors is jumping into the anti-war effort. Tomorrow - the conference will introduce a resolution to call for a quicker end to US foreign wars around the world. If it passes - it will be the first anti-war resolution passed by the Conference of Mayors since Vietnam.

Even though the mayors have no power over the funding of these wars like lawmakers in Congress do - mayors around the country see first-hand the effects of this war - in particular the costs - as more and more cities in America are going broke while hundreds of billions are spent dropping bombs in the Middle East.

(Do you think the resolution will have any affect? Tell us here.)
