Folks,

Earlier this month, we got some disturbing news that the United States assassinated a top Iranian military commander without Congressional authorization.

Since then, Iran has launched missile attacks against U.S. bases in a dangerous escalation of tension between our two countries.

It has been 19 years since I cast the only vote in Congress against the overly broad Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). Since 2001, the AUMF has given presidents like Trump blank checks for endless war.

As Trump’s reckless behavior hurtles us toward war with Iran, I maintain that military force is not the answer.

This week, the House will vote on my bill to repeal the 2002 Congressional Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Iraq. Trump has falsely claimed that the 2002 AUMF has given him the authorization to use military force in Iran, so we must do everything we can to stop him.

I’ll be clear: this administration’s reckless actions have put us on a path to war with Iran. Sign my petition now to demand Congress pass my bill to repeal the 2002 AUMF and stop war with Iran.

I have been fighting tooth and nail to repeal the AUMF for years. And you can bet I’ll keep fighting until we stop this blank check for endless war for good.

Thanks for signing. This is extremely important.

In solidarity,

Barbara Lee
