DIPLOMACY NOT WAR WITH IRAN

To: Sen. Hickenlooper, Rep. Neguse, Sen. Bennet

From: A verified voter in Erie, CO

June 19

No good can come from US involvement in another war in the Middle East. Whatever, in the best case scenario, might look like something good will be short-lived. History has shown us time and time again that the long term consequences of a war with no clarity of purpose are dire. It's morally wrong to put millions of civilians in multiple countries at risk when there are no certain comparable benefits. The people of Iran currently don't support their leaders, but we'll drive them to banding together if we start dropping bombs or support Israel in doing so. One man, the President, should never have the power to make decisions about involving us in a war. Congress MUST take that responsibility back! Insist that any plans to strike Iran be submitted to Congress, as the Constitution intended. Oppose those strikes when they come up.
