Secession? Certainly this would get the necessary attention for what is a serious issue very much ignored by the media.
But rather than trying to move a resolution thru the political parties, I suggest that WAMM (or another anti-war organization) create a “Citizens Commission on Secession for Peace” The resulting organizing campaign could be used to draw attention to the war machine and the never-ending wars.

You’re spot on about us all being victims and co-conspirators at the same time in this war fraud! So the resolution is a great bold idea but you’re wrong that the political parties have ever passed ANY less bold, anti-war or anti- military spending resolutions. For instance last year, I was a delegate to the state DFL convention in Duluth and I sadly discovered that all of the anti-war, anti-torture, anti-military spending resolutions that had easily passed in the precinct caucuses all, for some mysterious reason, failed to pass at the State Convention. I suspect there is some further fraud upon fraud that occurred at the state level.
I’m also not clear on how you would possibly get the major political parties to work together to establish such a secession commission since a huge part of their fraud is that these parties fraudulently pretend to differ on their support for the wars and war expenditures. Worse yet, this is how their politicians dupe their victims and co-conspirators into going along with more war.
