End the Iran War — My Family Can't Afford It

To: Rep. Chu, Sen. Schiff, Sen. Padilla

From: A verified voter in Pasadena, CA

October 3

End the Iran War. Not next month — now. By late September, Trump's war against Iran had already cost American households $103 billion in higher fuel prices, according to analysis of federal energy data. My family has paid $750 more at the pump so far this year, and that figure is on track to hit $1,300 by December. For families with two drivers, it's already over $1,000 and climbing toward $1,700. This isn't abstract. Diesel is at $6.45 per gallon — a record high — which means everything costs more to make and ship. Local governments have shelled out over $2.7 billion extra for fuel, a bill that lands on taxpayers. Meanwhile, the economy added just 29,000 jobs in September and real wages are falling. People are drowning, and this war is holding their heads under. Demand an end to it.
