We need to have this debate in front of the American public. Add your name if you agree →

We should not allow a war of the magnitude of this to begin with Congress hiding. Friends, this is incredibly important to me: If the United States is going to be pulled into a third war in the Middle East, Congress must have this debate in front of the American public.  We need to debate what the s…

Have we learned nothing?

We should all be able to agree that the U.S. should not be at war without a vote from Congress. The Bush Administration lied to America about Iraq’s nuclear program to rush us into war in 2003. Have we learned nothing from that disastrous episode?  When I was elected to the Senate in 2012, I had ser…
