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.

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 Pentagon has already spent billions of taxpayer dollars on this unauthorized and unpopular war, and is now reportedly asking for another $200 billion.

The military relies on Congress to authorize supplemental funding to maintain war operations, which is why the ACLU is demanding they refuse to give even one more 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 bleeding our wallets dry and putting servicemembers and civilians in perilous danger. And while this illegal war breeds global instability, it also imposes intolerable costs here at home, ranging from high 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.

Message Body

Our taxpayer dollars should not be funding the president's reckless and illegal war against Iran. 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]
