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?
Tell Congress: Don’t give Trump a blank check for war!
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.
Tell Congress: Don’t give Trump a blank check for war!
