Friends,

We are coming up on the seventeenth anniversary of the Iraq War.

And still, all these years later, President Trump is trying to use the same Authorization of Military Force (AUMF) to justify United States actions in the Middle East and his own attacks on Iran.

This AUMF was passed in 2002 and is incredibly outdated. It was never meant to apply to Iran -- even Trump's own Secretary of Defense said it doesn't.

Congress must hold our out-of-control "toddler-in-chief" accountable. It's time for members of the Trump Administration to come before Congress to make their case, and then it's time for Congress to debate and vote on a new AUMF.

Do you agree? Then sign my petition. You can use this link:

The truth is, Trump has never sacrificed much of anything himself, so he is incapable of understanding how much our troops sacrifice for our nation. But I do understand -- and that's why I'm working as hard as I can to ensure we don't put a single U.S. service member in harm's way in a conflict Congress has not authorized.

Thank you,

Tammy
