Dear Patriot,
In just a few hours, Congress will vote on an
amendment offered by Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA) repealing
the 2002 Authorization of Force against Iraq.
Passage of this amendment would not only
force the president and Congress to finally put an end to the
17-year old Iraq war. . .
It would also help stop the Deep State from
blundering us into another no-win conflict with Iran.
So please read my message below and then call
your representative at 202-224-3121 and tell them to vote for the
Lee Amendment to H.R. 550.
You see, earlier this month, the U.S.
Government came dangerously close to launching another undeclared
war with Iran. While that crisis seems to have passed, the
neocons, liberal interventionists, and the rest of the war party
are still pushing for war with Iran.
And they are claiming the president does not
need to seek a congressional declaration of war because the 2002
Authorization of Force against Iraq somehow gives the president
authority to start war with Iran.
Even though the only tie between any planned
war with Iran and the old war with Iraq is the war hawks want to
use U.S. bases in Iraq as a launching pad forward with Iran.
So please call your representative at
202-224-3121 and tell them to vote for the Lee Amendment
repealing the 2002 Authorization of Force against Iraq.
After thousands of Iraqi citizens took to the
street last week demanding that American forces leave their
country, this resolution should not be controversial. . .
After all, we supposedly invaded Iraq to
bring "democracy" to the country.
So, if the people of Iraq don't want us
there, shouldn't we just leave?
Repealing the 2002 Authorization of Force
against Iraq will give President Trump a chance to fulfill his
campaign promise to end destructive unconstitutional regime
change wars.
And it will help stop President Trump's
successors from unilaterally launching a new war in Iran or
elsewhere in the Middle East. Plain and simple, the United States
Constitution gives the power to declare war to Congress and only
Congress. It also doesn't allow for open-ended engagements that
ultimately do more harm than good to the United States and its
citizens.
The powerful forces that comprise the war
party - the Deep State bureaucrats and Capitol Hill staffers,
lobbyists for the military-industrial complex, the pro-war media,
and many elected officials - are going all out to distort the
issue with their usual pack of half-truths, outright lies, and
smears.
So, it's important representatives hear from
as many Americans as possible who understand this vote is about
upholding the Constitution, not whether or not Americans
"approve" of the regime in Iran or still believe the war party's
fairy tales about how "victory" in Iraq is right around the
corner.
We don't have a lot of time before the House
starts voting, so please call your representative at
202-224-3121.
Tell them to vote for the Lee Amendment
repealing the 2002 Authorization of Force against Iraq.
Then please share this message with your
family and friends so they can also let Congress know they expect
them to do their job and make sure we don't have any more
unconstitutional endless wars.
Ensuring that we do not go to war with Iran
without a congressional declaration of war not only makes
constitutional sense, it makes fiscal sense.
America is already trillions of dollars in
debt and facing a financial tsunami of unfunded obligations for
entitlement and other federal programs.
And the $788 billion "defense" budget is the
second highest item in the federal budget behind Social Security.
So how can we afford to waste trillions on
another endless, no-win war?
WE CAN'T.
Instead, Congress should stop wasting
billions trying to turn Iraq into a copy of the United States.
So please call your representative today at
202-224-3121 and tell them to vote yes on the Lee Amendment to
H.R. 550.
And make sure you share the news about this
vote far and wide on all your social media.
In Liberty,
Norm Singleton
President
