Dear Friend,
Donald Trump just went on TV to spout a flood of despicable lies to defend
the massive debacle he’s created in Iran.
And the corporate media is falling for it—hook line and sinker.
The truth is that we remain on the precipice of another disastrous war in
the Middle East. Congress must act now to prevent any further acts of war
against Iran.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced that a vote will happen TOMORROW
on a war powers resolution and other measures to stop a war with Iran. Now
is the time to ensure that these pass the House and then the Senate.
[ [link removed] ]Will you chip in to mobilize a massive grassroots push to demand that
Congress stop Trump’s war with Iran?
Let’s recap the mess Trump has made:
1. Trump’s assassination of Iranian General Soleimani—a national hero in
his country—has united every faction of Iranian society against the
United States.
2. The parliament of Iraq—before now a U.S. ally and an enemy of
Iran—just voted to throw the U.S. out of the country.
3. The U.S. has lost vital allies in the fight against ISIS, including
Iran.
4. The U.S. has evacuated diplomats and civilians from the region because
of ongoing threats of attacks from Iran and their proxy forces.
5. Iran just announced that they will no longer abide by the Obama
administration’s nuclear deal and is now racing to build a bomb as we
speak.

this disastrous path. Will you donate to help demand Congress stop Trump’s
war with Iran?
Trump’s speech today included some of his most disgusting all-time lies.
He claimed that President Obama’s Iran nuclear deal paid for the rockets
fired at U.S. troops, which is a total lie.
He justified the assassination of Soleimani by citing a series of
provocative actions Iran took in response to Trump himself pulling out of
the Iran nuclear deal.
And he still hasn’t offered even a minimal legal justification for the
assassination of Soleimani.
Trump proved he is reckless and dangerous. The American people do not want
a war with Iran, but we cannot trust Trump to avoid one. We remain
extremely close to yet another disastrous war in the Middle East, and
Trump has shown that he will risk provoking one. Congress must act by
passing a War Powers Act resolution and other legislation now, opposing
any further attacks on Iran.
