Tell Congress: No war in Venezuela
Trump’s attack on Venezuela is a blatant, unconstitutional abuse of power.
Our members of Congress must do their jobs now and demand a full briefing, reassert their authority, and conduct real oversight.
Generations will pay the price if Congress abdicates its constitutional role and lets Trump drag us into a drawn-out and deadly invasion.
Trump promised voters he wouldn’t start new wars. [1]
But less than a year into his presidency, he’s doing exactly that – dragging us into armed conflict in Venezuela without Congress’s approval. It’s a blatant, unconstitutional abuse of power.
Going to war is one of the gravest decisions our country can make. And the Constitution is crystal clear on this: it requires debate and a vote in Congress – not just one man’s whims.
But Donald Trump would rather attack first and figure out the rest later. Poll after poll shows that the American people don’t want war in Venezuela [2] – but that was never why Trump is doing this.
He thinks he can solve his political problems with a march to war – while making his family, his friends, and Big Oil even richer by exploiting Venezuela’s massive oil reserves.
And fundamentally, he’s testing the limits of our democracy: how far will Congress let him go? Your action right now can help make the difference.
Sign the petition to tell Congress: Do your job. Use the power your constituents gave you to stand up to Trump’s one-man march to war.
