Dear Senator / Representative -

I am appalled that Congress left the Capitol for a week on the eve on the 1973 War Powers Act deadline for the Iran War.

I am tired of Congress abdicating its responsibility to the American people. I am tired of Congress acting like a lap-dog to this Executive Branch.

This war is illegal in three ways: it violates the US Constitution (only Congress can declare war); it violates the UN Charter (which prohibits the threat or use of force except in self-defense against an armed attack); and now it violates the 1973 War Powers Act. There is no "reset" of the limit because of a ceasefire. Congress either approves the war or it doesn't.

This war has cost untold billions of dollars. I do not trust the $25 billion estimate from an Administration that regularly lies under oath to the American people. We, the United States, have killed thousands of people. The Department of Defense of this Republican Administration has expended an overwhelming number of our munitions stockpile.

I want Congress to do its job: force President Trump to end this deeply unpopular war of choice.
