John,
For decades, our nation has been silenced as Congress makes critical decisions regarding our military intervention and our American foreign policy without the people’s approval. Our country has entered into an endless war in Syria and lost countless lives through military policy driven by profits and destruction.
This needs to end now. That’s why I’ve introduced an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to prohibit U.S. military presence in Syria without Congressional approval within one year of enactment.
This amendment would bring our presence in Syria to a congressional vote, and would be an urgent reaffirmation of the war powers granted to Congress. If you are in support of ensuring that every American who wants their voice heard in American foreign policy can have their voice heard, please add your name in support of the Syria amendment to the NDAA.

John, I support an end to this endless war — which first began by targeting ISIS and now has seen our military slip into dangerous confrontations that has put our troops’ lives at exponential risk.
It’s also critical that we address the serious human cost that our military actions continue to cause in international communities. The U.S. occupation of Syria has played a direct role in the food crisis that has left 12.4 million Syrians — nearly 60% of the population — food insecure.
Innocent civilians and troops should not be put into harm’s way without explicit authorization by Congress that allows constituents to know where their representative stands on the issue and — in turn — gives them a chance to be heard.
Please add your name in support of this amendment to the NDAA and our ongoing work to ensure everyone has a voice in our foreign policy decisions.
Thank you for your support,
