Tell Congress: No Unconstitutional War with Iran

Congress, military members, and a page from the U.S. Constitution.

The message:

President Trump does not have the power to unilaterally declare war on another country. Only Congress does.

Yet that’s exactly what he’s trying to do: dodging the Constitution to launch a war with Iran with no authorization from Congress. But waging an illegal war is expensive – and President Trump expects the American people to foot the bill. The military relies on Congress to authorize supplemental funding to maintain war operations – and Congress must say no.

That's why the ACLU is demanding Congress refuse to give even one more taxpayer dollar to this unconstitutional use of force against Iran.

Subject No taxpayer money for President Trump's unconstitutional war with Iran

As your constituent, I am calling on you to refuse to fund President Trump's unconstitutional and unauthorized war against Iran, which is putting both servicemembers and civilians in perilous danger. This illegal war risks global instability. It imposes costs here at home, ranging from climbing gas prices to threats to civil liberties. Our taxpayer dollars should not go towards an illegal war that has not been debated or voted on by the people's representatives – Congress.

Message Body

The president’s reckless decision to bomb Iran without bothering to ask for congressional approval is a clear constitutional violation that puts us all in danger – and our taxpayer dollars should not be funding it. I'm calling on you to vote NO on any bill that would give the Pentagon more money to continue this war.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.
