No Iran War

SIGN NOW: No illegal war with Iran. Demand Congress do its job and pass a War Powers Resolution now >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, every member of Congress has a choice right now: Will they do their jobs and rein in a rogue executive, or – through their inaction – endorse Trump's illegal march to war? Trump's illegal war with Iran has already killed hundreds of Iranian civilians [1] and at least six American servicemembers. [2]   This bloodshed isn't happening in a vacuum – it's happening because Congress has repeatedly failed to exercise its authority and hold Trump accountable. Pamela, I know you see what's happening here. Heading into the 2026 midterms, Trump knows he's failing to lower costs for working people. He knows voters are demanding answers about ICE violence and the Epstein crimes. And he knows this war is a way to avoid addressing those issues – and tighten his grip on power. Our members of Congress have the power – and duty – to stop this. They need to do their jobs, not hide behind Trump. It's time to make that clear. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution, block funding for further escalation, and get every member on the record – so voters like us can see exactly where our lawmakers stand and hold them accountable now and at the polls this November. SIGN THE PETITION: No illegal war in Iran. Congress must pass a War Powers Resolution and reassert its authority – NOW. SIGN THE PETITION Starting this illegal war without Congress – and without a real threat – makes Trump's motive clear. This is one more way to consolidate power. And one more crisis that could be used to try to justify undermining voting rights, silencing dissent, and targeting Muslim communities. Trump ran as the anti-war candidate, promising not to start new wars. [3] Yet in a little over one year, he's launched military strikes against more countries than any modern president – with little to no congressional oversight. [4] Meanwhile, families across this country are still waiting for action on rising costs. Every dollar spent on war is a dollar taken away from our healthcare, schools, and infrastructure. 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 P.S.
