It has been a week since the President launched a regime change war in Iran.

Now, at least six Americans and hundreds of civilians have been killed, gas prices are spiking and a dozen foreign countries are involved.

The President did not consult with Congress, nor did he make any attempt to bring the American people to his side. Indeed, the public is overwhelmingly against this military action. Nonetheless, it is being done in our name.

This week, Congress narrowly failed to pass War Powers Resolutions to rein in Trump’s war this week. But that wasn’t the end of this fight.

The war is estimated to cost $1 billion per day, so pro-war members of Congress are already discussing authorizing a $50 billion “supplemental” funding bill to allow the war to continue. Meanwhile, more nearly million Americans are losing their health insurance as a side effect of Congress’s choices.

It is unconscionable for a country to cry poor for our citizens’ health care, yet eagerly pour billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars into an endless, pointless war of choice.

Your Senators and representative need to hear from you, right now. We need to send a message that a vote supporting war funding is a vote to support this war. Can you use our simple tool to make your voice heard?

This attack against Iran makes the world more dangerous. It is based not on international law, but on the principle that might makes right. It does not. If our nation continues down this path, death, destruction, and human misery will follow.

Ordinary people will pay the price, while Donald Trump and his donors profit hugely.
Yet Politico reports that even Democrats who oppose the war are open to funding it. We must tell them there is no nuance here―a vote to fund the war is a vote to continue the war.

We have problems at home―high prices, low wages, and exorbitant healthcare costs. Instead of spending billions of dollars and sacrificing thousands of lives, we must address the issues at home.

Tell your Senators and representatives: No war with Iran! Not one penny in war funding.
