NEW: No Iran War

TAKE ACTION: Tell your senators to do their jobs and rein in Trump's illegal Iran war. Vote YES on a War Powers Resolution >> TAKE ACTION Pamela, the Senate could vote as soon as today to rein in Trump's illegal war with Iran – and your action right now could help decide the outcome.   This administration is marching us into war and trying to shut down criticism instead of answering tough questions from the people they serve. That's not what we do in a democracy. American servicemembers and Iranian civilians are getting killed in a conflict launched without Congress, without debate, and without the authorization the Constitution requires. We cannot allow our country to repeat the catastrophic mistakes of Iraq and Vietnam. Congress has the power – and duty – to stop this escalation and protect the American people from yet another drawn-out and costly war.   Take Action Now: Tell the Senate to stop this escalation by passing a War Powers Resolution >> TAKE ACTION Pamela, this comes down to what America's priorities actually are. Every dollar spent on violence abroad is a dollar taken away from our healthcare, schools, and infrastructure.   Starting a war without Congress – and without a real threat – sets a dangerous precedent. If lawmakers fail to act now, it sends the message that any president can take the nation to war alone, regardless of what We the People or our elected representatives in Congress actually want. It's time to get every lawmaker on the record – so voters can see exactly where they stand and hold them accountable now and at the ballot box.   Tell your senators: Vote YES on a War Powers Resolution and stop this illegal war >> Congress must draw the line now before this conflict expands further and costs more lives and taxpayer dollars.
