Friend – If the president decides we need to go to war, he needs to come to Congress and ask for approval, just as the Constitution states.

Right now, we’re still at war in Iraq under the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) resolution.

Friend, one generation shouldn’t bind another generation to war.

By leaving these AUMFs on the book, we say Congress will not discuss war, we’ve given war powers to the president, and we’re done with it. We wash our hands of it and the president can do whatever he wants.

I’m strongly against this approach, friend. It leads to NO limits, geographic war.

If the president feels strongly enough about sending tens of thousands of our sons and daughters to war, he needs to formally ask Congress.

I feel strongly about the prospect of going to war and sending our children into harm’s way, but I want your thoughts. 

Can you spare a moment to take the short War Survey my team put together?

In liberty,
Rand Paul

While Washington elites are focused on growing Big Government and snuffing out liberty, Rand Paul is fighting to protect the Constitution and the freedoms it protects. Join his fight by chipping in now.

The only way to counter their efforts is by growing the liberty movement, one supporter at a time. You can help the cause by signing up to receive breaking news alerts from the campaign directly to your phone.

You can help Rand fight back against the Democrats (and Republicans) seeking to destroy liberty by taking our 2023 Priorities Survey.
