Democrats Must Refuse to Fund Trump’s Illegal War With Iran

Donald Trump launched military strikes against Iran without congressional authorization. Now, after signing a $900 billion defense spending bill, he’s demanding billions more from Congress to bankroll the war.

Congress must say no.

The Constitution gives Congress — not the president — the power to declare war. Yet the administration is preparing to request a massive supplemental funding package to continue the conflict, with some estimates reaching roughly $50 billion.

Americans did not vote for another endless Middle East war. And many lawmakers have already warned against escalating the conflict or pursuing regime change in Iran, as debate grows in Washington over whether Congress will approve new war funding.

Democrats have real leverage right now. Any new funding package will likely need bipartisan support to pass the Senate — meaning Democratic votes could decide whether this war escalates or stops.

Democrats must stand firm and refuse to provide a blank check for war.

Sign the petition now and demand that Democratic leaders vote NO on funding Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
