We hope you'll give it a try yourself right after you sign this one:
Congress, Return to Session Immediately and Vote to End the U.S. War in Syria and Iraq.
To: The U.S. House of Representatives and Senate
We the undersigned citizens of
the United States do hereby petition the Congress of the United States
to return into session immediately and vote to end and forbid U.S. war in Syria and Iraq.
Click here to sign.
Why is this important?
1. The U.S. government is in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
2. Many U.S. citizens want Congress to do its job, debate
war powers and vote no to this illegal
war.
3. If Congress voted Yes they would
be violating the UN Charter and the Kellogg-Briand Pact.*
4. It is immoral to wait months
while innocent people are being killed, laws broken, and hundreds of
thousands of people displaced.
5. There are alternatives: pursue a
ceasefire and negotiations, an arms embargo, work through the United
Nations and the Arab League and provide humanitarian aid.
6. America should not let terrorists make us violate our own laws.
After
signing the petition,
please forward this message to your friends. You can also share it from the webpage after taking the action yourself.
