Tell Congress: Don't Fund Trump's Post-Election Iran Bombing

Iran put a conditional ceasefire offer on the table to end Trump's war. Trump said no.

“I’m rejecting their deal,” he told reporters, after Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and restart nuclear talks within seven days if the U.S. met its conditions. Now The Wall Street Journal reports Trump has told aides he expects to resume bombing Iran after the midterms.

After the midterms. After you’ve voted.

Seven months into a war Congress never authorized, families are already paying for it at the pump and at the grocery store. If the bombing resumes, American service members will be sent back into combat. A growing number of Republicans in Congress are breaking with Trump over this war and what it’s costing American families.

Tell Congress: Commit to end Trump's war in Iran. Don't allow one more dollar to be spent on bombing Iran without a vote.

Trump can’t ignore the power of the purse. The next must-pass funding bill is due Dec. 11. Congress can write one clear rule into it: no new strikes on Iran without congressional approval.

But we can’t wait until December to demand it. Some members of Congress are hoping the pressure dies down after the election, so a lame-duck Congress can quietly hand Trump the money for his next round of war. 

Right now, they're asking for your votes. That's why we need them to go on the record before Election Day, while they still have to answer to voters.

Even some Republicans have already joined a majority of Democrats in voting to end this war. The rest of Congress needs to go on the record now, not after the votes are counted.

Add your name today: Tell Congress to cancel the blank check for Trump’s post-election war.

The petition to Congress reads:

“Commit now, before Election Day, to ending Trump’s unauthorized war in Iran, including by writing language into the Dec. 11 government funding bill that bars the use of any federal funds for military strikes or other hostilities against Iran without explicit congressional authorization.”
