>> 6. Whereas, in a post-Cold War era, the U.S. can safely reduce its

>> and
>>
>> 7. Whereas, a healthy U.S. economy is critical to an effective security

>>
>> THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Government of the United States

>>
>> 1. Rejecting the role of “policeman of the world,” ceasing military and
>> covert intervention in the affairs of foreign countries, and using military
>> force only when absolutely necessary to protect U.S. sovereignty,
>> territory, and vital interests, narrowly defined;
>>
>> 2. Substantially reducing the more than 700 U.S. military installations
>> around the world;
>>
>> 3. Curtailing the bloated military budget, allowing resources to be
>> redirected towards cutting the deficit, cutting taxes, investing in
>> America, or any other use as Americans see fit;
>>
>> 4. Reducing the size of the U.S. nuclear arsenal to a minimum deterrent
>> level, and fully supporting the implementation of the Nuclear
>> Non-Proliferation Treaty;
>>
>> 5. Emphasizing diplomacy, law, and cooperation in international relations
>> and dispute resolution;
>>
>> 6. Upholding civil liberties guaranteed by the Constitution; and
>>
>> 7. Reining in executive military action, recognizing that war powers
