Walter B. Jones looking to stop war

Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC) has announced that he will hold a press conference at 10 AM, Sept. 21, in Rayburn B-318, to discuss House Concurrent Resolution 107. Rep. Jones will be joined by a group of senior retired military officials, constitutional lawyers, and congressional co-sponsors, to discuss HCR 107 (the bill to send an impeachment warning to Obama), which currently has 11 cosponsors. This bi-partisan resolution, introduced in March of this year, reasserts the power of Congress to declare war, and states that any President who circumvents Congress, unless the United States is attacked, will face an article of impeachment.
Speakers at the press conference will include:
Congressman Walter B. Jones (R-NC)
Bruce Fein, specialist in constitutional and international law, Associate Deputy Attorney General under President Reagan, author, "American Empire: Before the Fall".
Lt. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (USA.Ret), former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell (2002-05) Lt. Colonel Anthony Shaffer, author of "Operation Dark Heart", exposed the Pentagon data mining program known as Able Danger, and uncovered two terrorist cells involved in 911.
A statement of support from Gen. Joseph P. Hoar (USMC-ret.), who served as the Chief of Staff and later as the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Command, will also be read.
