Stop Profiteering Threats Against Iran

To: Rep. Hoyle, Sen. Wyden, Sen. Merkley

From: A verified voter in Eugene, OR

April 7

The Cabinet and the GOP in Congress have the power to stop President Trump from following through on his genocidal threats against Iran. Failure to act is a dereliction of duty. His Truth Social post threatening to wipe out Iranian civilization is morally reprehensible and indefensible. I am thanking you for your steadfast opposition to this war of choice, and asking you to continue speaking up about the way these indefensible social media posts appear to be engineered to manipulate the markets to the benefit of Trump and his billionaire buddies. Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz like a toll booth on the world economy. If Trump escalates this into the catastrophe he's threatening, oil prices will skyrocket overnight. Gas will hit $6, $7, maybe $10 a gallon. Grocery prices will surge as transportation costs explode. Supply chains will collapse. We're talking about an economic crisis that makes current inflation look like a minor inconvenience. The Cabinet can invoke the 25th Amendment. Congress can censure him, investigate him, or cut off funding for military action against Iran. Speak out and make the connection to the economy crystal clear every opportunity you get. Use your tools before Trump's recklessness costs American families their savings and potentially starts a war that kills millions.
