New Jersey’s House Members Show Support For Iraq War
We are very happy to see support for our military effort in Iraq is not waning in the House of Representatives and happier still to see support is actually growing among New Jersey’s delegation. The strategic importance of Iraq in the war on terror was not lost on all Republicans and a majority of the Democrats representing New Jersey.
The first column in the chart below indicates how each House member voted in 2002 on President Bush's Iraq resolution. A "yes" vote was a vote to grant President Bush the power to attack Iraq unilaterally. The measure passed the House 296 -133.
The Second column reflects last night’s roll call vote on an amendment opposing a requirement for President Bush to devise a plan for a withdrawal from Iraq. A "yes" vote was a vote to approve the amendment, opposing the premature withdraw of forces from Iraq. The measure passed the House 291-137.
