War has broken out, and is now quickly spiraling into a regional conflict.
The predictable death toll is climbing, including over 150 children at a girls’ school in Iran bombed on day one.
American casualties have also now been confirmed, with Trump indifferently saying there will likely be more.
Yet Congress has yet to actually debate, much less vote on the record, on opposition or support of Trump and Netanyahu’s folly.
That could, and should, end this week. We expect votes on War Powers Resolutions (WPR) in the House soon, and the Senate is scheduled to vote on Tuesday, 3/3. That means it’s time to step up. It’s time to be loud. It’s time to demand, in no uncertain terms, that we want this war to stop NOW!
It is time to call your representative and both senators to demand support for War Powers Resolutions. Your members of Congress are deciding how to respond this minute, and that means they need to hear the demands of their constituents — and the overwhelming pro-peace majority — to vote YES on the WPR.
MAKE URGENT CALLS TO YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS TODAY:
1) Call the Congressional switchboard at 202-224-3121
2) Ask to be connected to your rep’s office, and repeat for each of your two senators. Make 3 calls!!!
3) Once connected, give them this message (in as many of your own words as possible):
Hello, my name is ____________ and I’m a voting constituent from (your city). The Trump administration has launched unauthorized strikes on targets across Iran. Congress must act immediately to use every ounce of its influence and constitutional authority to prevent further violence and all-out war — one which a majority of Americans reject.
As your constituent, I insist that you support the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to stop President Trump from continuing to wage unauthorized war against Iran. It is expected that a vote could be as soon as this week. It is past time for Congress to fulfill its Constitutional authority and vote to require authorization of any military action against Iran. I demand that the representative/senator support the bipartisan War Powers Resolution. Thank you.
