Hi,
You won’t believe this: Republicans in Congress are moving right now to
give Trump a blank check to go to war -- even as he’s being impeached over
abusing his power!
Trump’s trigger finger on Twitter is already dangerous. Just imagine how
much more chaos and destruction he could cause if Congress gives him more
war powers. Republicans are moving quickly to pass a National Defense
Authorization Act that will give Trump a blank check to direct the world’s
largest army into any war he feels like.
Time is running out: This is a critical moment to rally Congress to reject
this damaging proposal. Will you help?

The House and the Senate have already passed different versions of an NDAA
this year. The House version would pull US-support from the deadly war in
Yemen that has cost thousands of lives and plunged millions of people into
one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent memory. It also includes
policy language that would limit Trump’s ability to commit the US to war
in Iran.
The Senate version didn’t include anything about Yemen, which means both
chambers should be working together on a final bill.
Instead, Senate Republicans want to sneak through a filmsy “skinny” NDAA
that won’t do anything to save lives in Yemen or curb Trump’s reckless
executive authority for war.
They know time is running out, and they’re using it against us. That’s why
it’s critical to tell your member of Congress, right now, not to back any
compromise bill that doesn’t involve pulling US-support from the deadly
war in Yemen and doesn’t rein in Trump’s war powers.
