Urgent action and mobilization. Call Members of Congress demand them to reconvene immediately. Trump over-rode Congress and bombed Iran. Impeach.
Dear Elders,
Outrage.
No matter how a person feels about Iran, the Israeli War, and nuclear weapons,
Trump just bombed Iran.
An offensive move.
Not defense.
What really happened, is that DJT bombed Iran without authority to do so.
He once again has over-ridden the Legislature’s powers.
I just this moment left voice mails at all three Members of Congress.
I know it’s Saturday.
I know they are in recess.
I followed this script sent to my email by 50501:
A Moment of Urgency
Now is the time to act. If Congress allows this excursion to continue without oversight, it sets a dangerous standard: future presidents launching wars at will, ignoring treaties, democratic discourse, and the sacrifices of a conflicted populace. The U.S. contend with the following fact: we are entering a constitutional crisis with no redress.
We can still demand accountability:

1) Contact your representatives, urging them to
“convene immediately and assert constitutional responsibility.”
2) Ask
“support for a resolution halting any ongoing military operations in Iran until formal approval is granted.”
3) Press Congress to
“reform or reinforce War Powers limitations so rogue actions—like the ones seen today—do not become normalized.”
Congress holds the keys. Citizens must mobilize. We must demand debate, demand votes, demand restoration of constitutional norms before the path we are on becomes irreversible.
Call your senators. Call your representative. Demand that they uphold their duty and stop this war in its tracks. Congress, not a single individual, decides whether to commit the nation’s future to war. If we do not stop this, we will not be stepping into history. We will be surrendering it.
Now is the time for action.
Making calls is something to do right now and over the next few days.
I am certain there will be nationwide public outcry.
Please let me know of any rapid response actions you are hearing about.
Collective action
It is going to be crucial.
In solidarity,
Carolyn
