Trump has bombed Iran. Against the will of the American people, without a vote from Congress, and without any plan to protect American lives or deescalate the crisis, Trump unilaterally launched a military strike that could ignite a full-scale regional war.
But we have the power to stop this. The Constitution is clear: Only Congress can declare war. That’s not a technicality – it’s a safeguard meant to keep exactly this kind of unilateral warmongering in check.
Senator Tim Kaine has introduced a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal military action and block further escalation. A strong vote in the Senate sends a crystal-clear message: we will not be dragged into war.
Demand your Senator oppose war with Iran, and support the Kaine War Powers Resolution.
The email to your senators:
Dear Senator,
We cannot risk the devastating human and economic cost of another war in the Middle East. We need diplomacy with Iran – not another forever-war.
Please oppose war with Iran, and sign on to Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
