Trump launched strikes without approval. Iran just hit back. Congress must act.
Trump ordered unauthorized military strikes against Iran. Now, Iran has retaliated by bombing a U.S. military base. American troops are in danger—and Congress never approved any of it.
This is a constitutional crisis and a national security disaster in the making.
Unless Congress acts immediately to pass the War Powers Resolution, Trump could continue escalating this conflict—without checks, without votes, and without accountability. That’s not how democracy works.
Your letter could make the difference. When lawmakers hear directly from constituents, they pay attention—especially when lives are on the line.
We’ve stopped unauthorized wars before. We can do it again. But only if Congress hears from enough of us.
Thanks,
