John,
The Trump administration started the new year by illegally invading and bombing the sovereign nation of Venezuela, killing at least 80 people, and kidnapping Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife.
These are war crimes that violate both U.S. and international law, and it’s not about drugs or democracy. Trump himself said on Sunday, “We are in the business of having countries around us that are viable and successful and where the oil is allowed to freely come out.”
This unconstitutional regime change war has one purpose: to steal Venezuela's oil so Trump's billionaire Big Oil buddies can cash in. He even admitted to tipping off Big Oil ahead of the strike, and claims the U.S. will work with oil companies to run the country.
This is American imperialism in action.
The so-called “peace president” has now bombed 8 countries in the first year of his second administration. Trump and his war-hungry thugs are talking about putting boots on the ground in Venezuela and carrying out similar operations in Mexico, Colombia, Iran, and Cuba, threatening to spend billions of our taxpayer dollars and send U.S. service members to risk their lives in more endless wars.
All while millions of people across our country lose their healthcare and struggle to get by.
Enough. Only Congress has the authority to declare war, and we need EVERY Democrat in Congress to step up, do their jobs, and pass a War Powers Resolution to stop this.
Add your name to demand Congress stop Trump’s war with Venezuela NOW!
Every Justice Democrat in Congress is already leading the charge, speaking out, and organizing to stop this from escalating into another forever war.
Let’s build the pressure on the rest of the Democratic Party to join them and actually fight back.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
