On Saturday, June 21, after 9 days of war between Israel and Iran, President Trump bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, effectively entering the US as a party to the war.
Trump’s strikes violated international law and destroyed the fragile trust that had been built between the U.S. and Iran — and made diplomacy harder, not easier. As with the Iraq War, these strikes are based on faulty intelligence and fear-mongering. Trump started this war — now Congress must stop it before more lives are lost.
Americans don’t want this war. Lawmakers have a choice to make: will they side with the people they represent, or align with a warmongering minority intent on dragging us into disaster?
That is why Peace House is calling on Representative Cliff Bentz to uphold the Constitution and support House Concurrent Resolution 38. The resolution condemns President Trump’s violation of the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Act of 1973, and requires that any hostilities with Iran be explicitly authorized by a declaration of war.
We’ll gather at Vogel Plaza, then we’ll proceed to field office of U.S. Representative Cliff Bentz at 14 N. Central Ave., Medford, around 10:15 a.m.
Bring signs! No War With Iran, No Illegal Wars, Yes to HCR 38
