# [#]Did you catch my email, Friend?
Donald Trump has pledged that the U.S. “will run” Venezuela after ousting Nicolás Maduro – putting thousands of American troops in harm’s way for oil.
Now he’s hinting at more invasions and more wars – in Cuba, Columbia, Mexico, Iran, and even Greenland.
Trump must be stopped. Only Congress can declare war and authorize military force. Congress MUST step up to stop Trump’s warmongering.
If you agree, sign my petition that the U.S. should NOT be involved in another regime change war over oil. We must speak out now, before it’s too late. [[link removed]]

Subject: PETITION: Trump’s invasion of Venezuela is illegal
To: Friend
Friend,
This weekend, Trump launched a military operation to oust Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro — w ithout approval from Congress, notice to our allies, support from the American people, or a plan for what comes next.
Make no mistake: this operation isn't about the welfare of the Venezuelan people or combating drug trafficking.
It's about oil and power for Donald Trump and his crony allies.
After campaigning on ending foreign wars, Trump has plunged our military into another regime change conflict about oil — and needlessly put our servicemen and women in harm’s way.
As a top member on the Foreign Affairs and Intelligence Committees, we will demand a full briefing to Congress and hold the administration accountable for justifying this unlawful attack.
The American people are demanding answers – and we will get them.
If you agree that the U.S. should NOT be involved in another illegal foreign war about oil, launched without approval of congress, add your name to my petition. [[link removed]]
