And it is clear, Americans do not want to send our sons and daughters to go to war with Iran. “That is exactly why Congress needs to immediately reassert its war powers. “We can support Iranian democracy without starting a war that no one wants. Congress must pass a war powers resolution and stop Trump from committing us to yet another war.” Print Email Share Previous Article Next Article About Services News Contact Facebook Logo Twitter Logo BlueSky Logo Youtube Logo Instagram Logo
