We served our country and are no strangers to war. What Trump threatened this morning — that ‘a whole civilization will die tonight’ — cannot be ignored, rationalized, or dismissed. It is not ‘strategic posturing’ to threaten to annihilate an entire people. It threatens a war crime so grave that no person should condone it. “There is no strategic justification for threatening to destroy an entire civilization, and anyone who says otherwise is unfit for office. Any elected official cheering on this rhetoric, rationalizing it as tough talk, and failing to acknowledge the gravity of what the president is threatening is simply unfit. “We need to immediately return to DC and stop this illegal war. We took oaths to the Constitution and the American people, not a political party nor a leader. The time to do something is now, and we must act.” ### OFFICE LOCATIONS CONCORD DISTRICT OFFICE 18 North Main Street 4th Floor Concord, NH 03301 Phone: (603) 226-1002 Get Directions NASHUA DISTRICT OFFICE 184 Main Street Suite 222 Nashua, NH 03060 Phone: (603) 226-1002 To schedule an appointment, click here.
