Sign the petition, e mail your rep and senators: No War with Iran

NO time to loose, this action from Demand Progress is a petition to congress to pass HR 38 and SJ R 29, war powers resolutions introduced by Rep Ro Khanna D-CA and Sen Tim Kaine D-VA to stop the US-Iran war before it goes any further. Congress has the constitutional power to declare war, not the president. Once you sign the petition please e mail your representative and senators no matter their party and tell them to support and vote for these resolutions, tell them to stop this war! E mail the White House and tell NOT MY pres drumpf / trump to stop this war now, NO WAR WITH IRAN! NOTE, the cease fire announced the evening of 23 JUNE has already been violated, first by Israel then Iran. My e mails to my representative and senators and the White House will be at the end of this post.

TELL CONGRESS: Trump’s decision to bomb Iran and join Netanyahu’s war against Iran is illegal. Sign the petition: Pass a War Powers Resolution to Stop Trump’s War with Iran. ADD YOUR NAME Trump’s decision to bomb Iran and join Netanyahu’s war against Iran is a clear violation of the Constitution1. Trump has now set the U.S. on a dangerous path to a disastrous open-ended military campaign where thousands of American, Iranian, and Israeli lives could be lost. Senator Tim Kaine and Representative Ro Khanna have introduced war powers resolutions exercising Congress’s authority to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran2. Congress must reassert its war powers and stop another disastrous, unpopular war. Sign the petition: No war with Iran! Pass a War Powers Resolution NOW! ADD YOUR NAME Sen. Bernie Sanders reacted to the news of the bombing in real-time at a rally, stating that "the only entity that can take this country to war is the U.S. Congress. The president does not have the right."3 Trump has already indicated that further attacks by U.S. forces could be coming, and Iranian officials have vowed retaliation4, making it likely that Trump’s decision to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities could begin a dangerous downward spiral into a prolonged war. Congress has the power to stop this before it's too late by passing the two war powers resolutions introduced by Sen. Kaine and Rep. Khanna, H.Con.Res.38 and S.J.Res.29. Sign the petition: Urge Congress to pass a War Powers Resolution and stop Trump’s war with Iran!

Your cease fire is already failing, do not take any further military action until the Gang of Eight has been briefed and unless Congress gives you authorization. We know your goal is to replace our democratic Republic with an authoritarian theocratic oligarchy but it hasn't happened yet and with God's help it won't.
