Oppose Trump's Threats Against Iranian Civilians

To: Sen. Murray, Rep. DelBene, Pres. Trump, Sen. Cantwell

From: A verified voter in Bothell, WA

April 7

President Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight" crosses a line that no American leader should cross. I need you to publicly condemn these threats and take immediate action to prevent an attack on Iranian civilians. Threatening to kill an entire civilization is not a negotiating tactic. It's a promise to commit mass murder. Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, confirmed that targeting civilians violates the Fourth Geneva Convention and constitutes a war crime under international humanitarian law. Trump's own words describe collective punishment against the Iranian people, not a military operation. This isn't about defending Iran's government. It's about preventing the United States from committing atrocities in our name. Trump has threatened to bomb Iran's bridges and power plants, infrastructure that civilians depend on to survive. He's set an 8 p.m. deadline for an attack "like they have not seen." Even Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling for Trump's removal under the 25th Amendment, saying "We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness." When Trump's own allies recognize this as madness, you must act. Speak out now and use every tool available to stop this catastrophe before it happens.
