Activists push Delahunt as he pushes Congress Disagree on best way to end Iraq war By Edward F. Maroney emaroney(cubamstablepatriot.com Diane Turco spent a night in jail this week to get an answer from U.S. Rep. Bill Delahunt. The Harwich teacher, a member ofCape Codders for Peace and Justice , was ar- rested at the Congressman 's Hyannis office Tuesday when she and a handful of others refused to leave the premises until they could arrange an appointment with Delahunt. She declined to make bail and was held overnight by the Barnstable Police before beingreleased Wednesday af- ter pleading not guility at V District Court in Barnst able on a trespassing charge. "Rep. Delahunt is pretty good on stopping the war in Iraq. " Turco said yesterday , but her group and others want him to sign on to U.S. Rep. James McGovern 's bill that would prohibit funding deployment of U.S. forces in Iraq. "What' s happened is that there 's a diversity of voices in the community in terms of what are the best proposals for those critics of the war to rally around ," Delahunt's chief of staff , Mark For- est, said yesterday. "Today, we're getting flooded with calls congratulating us on what we're doing on Iraq. Yesterday,we had a sit-in by people who think we're not doing enough." That national debate is reflected in Congress, where various bills regarding the war have been introduced in recent months. Forest said Delahunt supports Rep. Jack Murtha 's call for a phased withdrawal, and that those who are backing that bill find McGovern 's pro- posal for animmediate cutoff of funds inconsistent with a phased exit. McGovern'sbill allows use of funds for "the safe and orderly withdrawal of the Armed Forces from Iraq." Forest said Delahunt has been gathering support- ers for a bill filed by Rep. Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii calling for an immediate, 17- hour floor debate on the war, As this bill has bipartisan support , the congressman is hopeful that a discharge petition could skip it past the committee process that, in the Republican-controlled House, has kept various end- the-war bills locked up. Also this week , Delahunt, the senior Democrat on the Oversight and Investi- gations subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee, an- nounced that the Commit- tee will hold its first hearing on Iraq in nearly two years. The session was scheduled for April 26 by Chairman Henry Hyde after Delahunt and all other Democrats on the Committee requested the hearing. Truco is not unapprecia- tive of Delahunt' s efforts, but having opposed the war since before it began, she said she believes that "ev- ery one of us needs to move forward. It looks like the government is planning to widen the war to Iran. We've got to stop. This isn't us." Two if by sea TOWNNOTES Help Barnstable have a glorious Fourth Anne Walther Hayes of the Cape Cod Five is banking on supporters and volun- teers to step forward to make the Town of Barnstable Fourth of July parade a success. "From Sea to ShiningSea"isthisyear's theme, and the bank's Hyannis branch manager is asking businesses and indi- viduals to help out. One way to boost the celebration is to help with the $19,000 cost of the colorful marching bands that give the parade so much of its spirit. Checks can be made payable to the Town of Barnstable Pa- rade Committee and sent care of Walther Hayes at Cape Cod Five, 171 Falmouth Road , Hyannis MA 02601.
