current U.S. foreign policy includes a “pivot to the East” which represents a danger to peace and stability in the East Asia region, and
WHEREAS
this involves closer alliances with right wing governments in the region, including that of Prime Minister Abe of Japan, and
WHEREAS
the United States retains numerous military bases in the Asia Pacific area, especially in Japan, which are objectionable to local populations and are provocative in their effect, and

these policies are not helpful in the resolution of existing international disputes in the region,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
