I'm calling on you to take immediate action to end unauthorized U.S. military involvement in conflicts that lack congressional approval. Our Constitution is clear: Congress alone has the power to declare war, yet we continue to see military operations conducted without proper authorization. These illegal wars drain our resources, cost American lives, and undermine the democratic process. Billions of taxpayer dollars fund operations that have never been debated or voted on by the people's representatives. Meanwhile, critical needs at home go unmet. You have the power to stop this. Vote against any defense appropriations that fund unauthorized military operations. Co-sponsor legislation that reasserts Congress's constitutional war powers. Demand that the executive branch seek proper authorization before committing our military to combat. The American people deserve a say in decisions that send our troops into harm's way. No president should have unchecked authority to wage war. I expect you to defend the Constitution and represent my voice by working to end these illegal military conflicts immediately.
