No war in Venezuela

We need your action now to push back.

SIGN NOW: No war in Venezuela. Demand Congress step in now >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, Trump promised voters he wouldn't start new wars. [1] But less than a year into his presidency, he's doing exactly that – dragging us into armed conflict in Venezuela without Congress's approval. It's a blatant, unconstitutional abuse of power. Going to war is one of the gravest decisions our country can make. And the Constitution is crystal clear on this: it requires debate and a vote in Congress – not just one man's whims. But Donald Trump would rather attack first and figure out the rest later. Poll after poll shows that the American people don't want war in Venezuela [2] – but that was never why Trump is doing this. He thinks he can solve his political problems with a march to war – while making his family, his friends, and Big Oil even richer by exploiting Venezuela's massive oil reserves.   And fundamentally, he's testing the limits of our democracy: how far will Congress let him go? Your action right now can help make the difference. Sign the Petition: No unconstitutional war for oil in Venezuela. Congress must demand a full briefing, reassert its authority, and conduct real oversight – now. SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, I don't want to see our country repeat the mistakes of Iraq and Vietnam.   The U.S. military shouldn't be a global police force. And no matter how illegitimate or abusive a foreign leader may be, Trump can't just respond by declaring himself a dictator here in America. We need your action now to push back and protect democracy here and across the globe.   Generations will pay the price if Congress abdicates its constitutional role and lets Trump drag us into a drawn-out and deadly invasion. Tell Congress: Do your job. Use the power your constituents gave you to stand up to Trump's one-man march to war >> Thanks for all you do, The team at Common Cause [1] https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-promised-no-new-wars-venezuela-escalation-test-magas-tolerance-a-rcna249380 [2] https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/americans-do-not-want-war-with-venezuela Common Cause is a leader in fights that matter at the local, state, and national level.
