Donald Trump was JUST impeached for abuse of power for political gain and now he is leading us to the brink of war with Iran — putting the lives of American personnel, our allies, and countless civilians at risk — because he believes it will help his re-election.
Trump’s foreign policy is erratic, impulsive, and dangerous. His actions have serious consequences for our national security and our collective humanity, and we must hold him accountable. Congress has the sole authority to declare war and we must de-escalate. We are sick of endless wars.
The American people deserve a voice. I’ve called for the repeal of the 2001 Authorized Use of Military Force (AUMF), which provides broad powers for the occupant of the White House to take military action unchecked by Congress. In December, when Republicans in the Senate stripped out my sister-in-service Barbara Lee’s amendment to repeal the AUMF, I voted against the 2020 National Defense Reauthorization Act, which allocated hundreds of billions to the military-industrial complex with little accountability.
Once again, the occupant of the White House is putting his interests above those of the American people, risking war to strengthen his political standing. He must be held accountable. We must not go to war with Iran.
Will you take a moment to sign on to my petition condemning this egregious escalation with Iran? After signing please share the petition with your friends and family on Facebook and Twitter because we need everyone to make their voice heard in this fight.
Thank you for taking action today. Together we will stop Donald Trump.
In Solidarity,
Ayanna Pressley
