Superdelegates set to call for foreign policy unity

A group of committed and uncommitted Democratic congressional superdelegates will call Thursday for foreign policy unity — including a call to end the Iraq war — regardless of who wins the Democratic nomination.


Representatives who have endorsed either Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) or Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.), plus two who are uncommitted, will hold a conference call with reporters Thursday morning to outline their plea for party unity on ending the Iraq war, negotiations with Iran and closure of the Guantánamo Bay detention facility.

Members participating will announce a new campaign to urge superdelegates to sign a petition encouraging the Democratic Party to adopt those and other foreign policy stances into the Democratic National Platform, according to a release from the call’s host, the group Win Without War.

The call is scheduled to feature former Rep. Tom Andrews (D-Maine), Win Without War’s national director; Reps. Jan Schakowsky (Ill.), John Lewis (Ga.) and Barbara Lee (Calif.), who are endorsing Obama; and Reps. James McGovern (Mass.) and Maurice Hinchey (N.Y.), who are endorsing Clinton.

4. Very , very good news indeed.
I would love to see the SD's, who have never been in such a powerful position, force these two candidates to take a harder stand on the war. Brilliant!
