Donald Trump could be on the brink of sending U.S. troops into another destructive war in the Middle East, John — this time with Iran. But we’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends.
Defense contractors rake in obscene profits. Politicians tell lies to give them cover. And working-class folks pay the price.
We'll spend billions on bombs — while they tell us they don’t have the money to fund our health care, housing, schools.
But the Constitution is clear, John: only Congress can authorize military action, not Trump. It's their responsibility to step in now and stop this escalation before it spirals further.
Today, a bipartisan group of representatives introduced a resolution that would require congressional approval before any U.S. troops engage in attacks against Iran.1
A large majority of Americans — including most Republicans — oppose U.S. military intervention in Iran.2 Trump has zero legal authority to start a new war. Congress must act now to pass the War Powers Resolution immediately and prevent him from unlawfully doing so.
Add your name here to demand that Congress block Trump from starting a war with Iran. We'll follow up with instructions about how to call your representative directly.

Trump wants unchecked power to send troops anywhere he wants, whenever he wants.
And we’ve already seen the devastating consequences of this kind of reckless decision-making.
We spent decades at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. And what do we have to show for it? Thousands of young Americans dead, instability in the region, worldwide distrust of the U.S. and trillions of dollars set on fire.
We can’t let them sell us the same old lies.
Add your name now and tell your member of Congress to take a stand and block Trump from sending us into another senseless war.
