Friend —

I’m writing to you with a serious and important ask in light of Donald Trump’s recent erratic and dangerous foreign policy decisions.

Will you join me in signing VoteVets’ petition to demand Congress put a check on Donald Trump and stop him from starting a war with Iran? It only takes a minute to sign and stand in solidarity with all veterans and military families in this moment of uncertainty.

SIGN THE PETITION

Friend, I lost my son in Iraq in 2004 when an unmanned machine gun mounted on his tank accidentally discharged during combat against members of the Iranian-backed Mahdi army.

I supported the Iran deal because had we tried diplomacy first, perhaps my son would be alive today. The deal was working, and I was shocked and alarmed when Donald Trump pulled out of it — exacerbating an already tense situation.

Now, he has brought our country back to the brink of war where the only thing we can be certain about is the uncertainty of what is coming next at any given hour.

I made a promise to my son when I buried him 15 years ago that I would do everything to stop any war, so no other mothers have to go through what I did when I buried my only son. That’s why I’m asking you today:

Will you join me and VoteVets in standing in solidarity with all Gold Star families, military families and veterans? Sign the petition demanding Congress act to stop another war with Iran today >>

SIGN THE PETITION

With no clear plan or strategy, the situation with Iran is devolving by the hour. It’s critical we make our voices heard on this issue as loud and as soon as possible to stop the possibility of a war with Iran. That’s why I’m asking you to join me in signing the petition today.

Thanks for your support,
