It has been 19 years since I cast the only vote in Congress against the overly broad Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). Since 2001, the AUMF has given presidents like Trump blank checks for endless war. As Trump’s reckless behavior hurtles us toward war with Iran, I maintain that military force is not the answer. We’ve all seen the damage endless war can do. We must never go down that path again. I strongly urge Congress to pass my bill that would repeal the 2002 AUMF, which Trump has falsely claimed would justify future military force against Iran. Add your name now to tell Congress: NO war with Iran.
Trump does not have Constitutional authority to go to war with Iran. You can bet I’ll do everything I can to stop him. Thanks for fighting with me. In solidarity, Barbara Lee
