For 18 years, our troops have been at war with Afghanistan,
John.

That makes it America’s longest war ever.

And under Trump, America’s policy in the Middle East is only getting
worse.

With Trump’s childish temper tantrums and hawkish military policies, it’s
never been more clear that we need to repeal the Authorization for Use of
Military Force (AUMF).

Since 2001, the AUMF has allowed any president to declare war at any time,
with any country, regardless of the devastating consequences and without
approval from Congress as laid out in the Constitution.

petition now to demand Congress repeal the AUMF and take away Trump’s
power to declare war.

Just this weekend Trump announced he was going to reverse our
long-standing policy and withdraw troops from Syria, allowing Turkey to
invade and target American-backed Kurdish forces. Make no mistake: this is
a reckless and dangerous decision that will only lead to more instability
in the region.

Even Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s biggest supporters who doesn’t
think anything else Trump does is wrong, has come out and said this
decision is a total disaster.

And of course, after pulling out of the historic Obama-negotiated nuclear
deal with Iran, Trump has pushed us dangerously close to war -- ordering
airstrikes on the country and then changing his mind with just minutes to
spare.

We’ve all seen the damage unchecked war can do. It’s destroys civilian
cities, ruins economies, exacerbates world hunger, and takes hundreds of
thousands of lives -- most of them children.

authority to declare war and peace and take away this power from an
unstable man like Trump.

While we work day in and day out to build the resources to kick Trump out
of office in 2020, Congress, led by the House, can still stop this
reckless president and his hawkish military advisors from starting the
next chapter of endless war.

Big or small, everything you do to stand up and fight back makes Trump
weaker. Thank you for taking action today.
