Joseph M. Czaicki of Crestwood, MO is a military veteran speaking out against the war on Iran that Congress has not authorized. “Congress must defend its constitutional authority and bring this unauthorized war to a permanent end.” @RepAnnWagner @ksdknews @KMOV @FOX2now
U.S. military veteran in Missouri to @stltoday: “I do not want the president to disregard Congress without consequences. “@HawleyMO & @SenEricSchmitt should […] use every available tool to enforce” the Iran War Powers Resolutions. stltoday.com/opinion/letters…

Peace with Iran is a common sentiment among Americans - it's simple, this is an illegal war and we demand not another dollar for it!
On October 20, @theactioncorps and allies across the country are taking the fight against the Iran war to their congressional district offices. Then finish the day in Austin, Texas with our chairman @danmcknight30, @joekent16jan19, @scotthortonshow, @KelleyBVlahos and Adam Weinstein. Left and right, together on one issue. This is not our war.

We agree with this Midwest farmer: “My request is simple: Members of Congress should take a lesson from history, study the impact that ‘two farmers’ and diplomacy had on our lives, then get back to work and end this senseless war.”
This 4th-generation Iowa farmer talks about the high costs of the war for farmers and calls for a return to diplomacy and a peaceful end to the war — including farmers in achieving peace. desmoinesregister.com/story/…

🚨After years of restraint, the U.S. is again participating -- without congressional authorization -- in airstrikes on Yemen. Register for this free U.S. East Coast lunchtime webinar this Thursday 10/15 on the human costs of U.S. strikes in Yemen. events.brown.edu/watson/even…

It’s always interesting how we in the U.S. hear about the “Iranian-backed Houthis,” but not about the “U.S.-backed Saudis.” The U.S. has tremendous responsibility for the humanitarian disaster it has fueled in Yemen by backing the Saudi dictatorship’s aggression in Yemen.
