Trump's unauthorized, unprovoked war in Iran has cost the lives of US service members and thousands of civilians in Iran and across the Middle East. Even after a 60-day agreement was announced, Trump bombed Iran anyway, making clear that neither he nor the Israeli government can be trusted to keep their word on a ceasefire.
Both the House and Senate have now passed War Powers Resolutions challenging Trump's unauthorized military actions against Iran and reasserting Congress's constitutional authority over matters of war. But these votes are not enough.
We call on Members of Congress to hold the line for not another dime. A vote for the Trump-Hegseth weapons budget, a supplemental request for funding, or any other additional funding for this war is unacceptable.
Dear Senator/Representative,
I am writing to oppose Congress spending billions of dollars on Trump's illegal war with Iran.
This war is reckless and has inflicted devastating harm on civilians across the region, causing deaths, injuries, displacement, and the destruction of homes and critical civilian infrastructure. At the same time, Americans are paying the price for a war they never wanted to begin with. While families struggle with rising costs, Congress is being asked to consider billions more in military spending.
I urge you to hold the line for not another dime for this war or any other wars in the region. A vote for the White House’s $87.6 billion weapons funding request or any additional funding for war is unacceptable.
Will you uphold your constitutional duty and use every lever available to rein in this administration and prevent further escalation?
I look forward to your response and to seeing you act with urgency.
