I doubt the corporatist wing of the Democratic Party will get behind anything that reduces war spending. A better question is whether Republicans and Baggers will get jump on board. Fat chance.

It's the Usual Suspects, so to speak, that have cosponsored:

Rep. John Conyers [D, MI-14]
Rep. Walter Jones [R, NC-3]
Rep. Dennis Kucinich [D, OH-10]
Rep. Barbara Lee [D, CA-9]
Rep. Ronald Paul [R, TX-14]
Rep. Lynn Woolsey [D, CA-6]

Hopefully it will gather some steam. It was just introduced the other day. I know I'll be calling David Price's office on Monday, but I won't be holding my breath.
