John -- did you see this message from
Hank?

Hank worked extremely hard to make sure the War Powers Resolution
passed the House, but now an even larger challenge faces a
similar resolution in the Senate. Will you make sure you are
fully up to speed?

Friends and fellow patriots,

Late last week, I joined with my fellow Democrats and a few
courageous Republicans in voting for a major policy victory: the
passage of the War Powers Resolution.

When our founders penned the
Constitution, they ensured that the people’s representatives in
Congress — not the President alone — held the keys to authorizing
costly wars and military force. By engaging in military force
against Iran without consulting Congress, the President has put
us at the edge of war outside the Constitutional process.

While a president is empowered to
act when there is an imminent threat, credible evidence of such a
threat never materialized. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he
did not see intelligence suggesting a threat. For this and other
reasons, I cast my vote for this important resolution. The most
important part of my job is to keep all Georgians and Americans
safe, and our nation will be safer when we honor our
constitutional guardrails to prevent unnecessary conflict.

Now that the War Powers
Resolution has passed the House of Representatives, the Senate is
considering a comparable resolution sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine.

Unlike the House resolution,
however, the Senate resolution will be subject to a presidential
veto. That’s why we need a groundswell of energy from everyday
Americans to convince their elected representatives to do the
right thing and hold Trump accountable by passing this
resolution. Even amidst all the breaking news on impeachment and
the 2020 elections, will you commit to staying up-to-date on the
war powers discussion, team?

YES, I COMMIT

You can look up your Senators
here
( [link removed] )
, and give them a call or email to tell them this issue is
important to you. If we want to hold President Trump’s war powers
in check, it’s going to take all of us working together, but I
know we can do it.

Thank you,

Hank

P.S. Focusing on all these
pressing foreign policy issues hasn’t left much time for
campaigning for 2020. If you support my progressive agenda, I
would be extremely grateful for a contribution to my re-election.
