Defund the War
-------------------------

 

AN ACT OF WAR

Last week, the President unilaterally escalated the conflict in the
Middle East, by assassinating an Iranian warlord. Worse, it seems like
our media is echoing the President's lies and his cronies, without
context.  For example, Sec. Pompeo, who has been itching for war with
Iran for decades now, and has a disturbing history
[[link removed]] of anti-Islamic
bigotry
[[link removed]],
made the rounds in the media arguing that we actually need to invade
Iran. In 2015, Sec. Pompeo said, “There are organizations and
networks here in the United States tied to radical Islam in deep and
fundamental ways.  They’re not just in places like Libya and Syria
and Iraq, but in places like Coldwater, Kansas, and small towns all
throughout America.”

Pompeo has also hosted Brigette Gabriel and Frank Gaffney on his radio
show. Both of these figures have been named as organizers of
anti-Muslim hate by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In a 2015 summit, Sec. Pompeo said politics was a fight until
rapture [[link removed]], an allusion to
an end times prophecy in the bible. He has also stated in speeches
that “in fact, we know in our hearts that America is a force for
good in the world.”
[[link removed]]  Last year, he even
said God may have sent Trump
[[link removed]] to save Israel
from Iran. He claimed Iran was an enemy to Christianity
[[link removed]]
itself. He has also shown bellicosity towards Iran throughout his
career.  In June, Sec. Pompeo said US was considering “full range
of options for Iran” which is code for war
[[link removed]].  Pompeo
also designated the Quds force a terrorist organization, under the
AUMF, to provide legal cover for war with Iran

We cannot have someone who blends biblical and religion into a
foreign policy of death and destruction. Capitalizing on religious
beliefs as justification for a war in the middle east is a foreign
policy based on substantive views. Personal religious beliefs should
not be guiding foreign policy nor military intervention across the
globe.

That's why it's imperative that Congress defunds these wars from
those who are subjectively biased against a particular region. It's
essential that our Congressional representatives are even keeled,
objective, and willing to fight for peace in the world. My
Congressional representative voted to authorize the use of military
force and has never taken the power to use our military back into the
hands of Congress. He voted for the NDAA, which gave Trump the money
for a "space force," and fully funded wars. I would never have voted
on increasing our already bloated military budget. 

The fact is, our nation has had endless money for wars,
even intergalactic wars, but never enough to care for the needs of
working Americans and the poor. That has to change. We desperately
need a paradigm shift in Congress. I'm demanding that we reclaim war
powers to Congress, and that we pursue pro-peace international foreign
policy, that we defund the war machine substantially so that we can
focus on diplomatic solutions first. Now is the time for us to reign
in the powers of the executive before we wind up with a catastrophe
that we cannot fix. 

I pledge to you to, that I will prioritize a peaceful international
diplomacy and always be a strong voice for peace. 

Over 600 people have invested an average of $33 for our pro-peace
campaign. Can you help us get to Congress please? 

Sincerely,
