Support War Powers Resolution on Greenland and Oppose Territorial Aggression
41 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!
I am writing to urge you to support Senator Ruben Gallego's war powers resolution requiring congressional approval before any military action against Greenland. The recent suggestions that Greenland should become part of the United States, combined with the military incursion into Venezuela over the weekend, demonstrate an alarming pattern of impulsive foreign policy that threatens our international standing and constitutional order.
Greenland is a semiautonomous territory of Denmark, a NATO ally and longstanding partner of the United States. Any aggressive action toward Greenland would not only violate international law but would fracture our most important military alliance at a time when global stability depends on democratic nations standing together. The suggestion of acquiring another nation's territory through coercion belongs to a bygone era of imperialism, not modern diplomacy.
The war powers resolution is a necessary check on executive overreach. Congress holds the constitutional authority to declare war, and this resolution simply ensures that authority is respected before committing American forces to another conflict. We cannot afford to enter wars on a whim or pursue territorial expansion that is simply coveting other peoples' property.
The failed votes on previous war powers resolutions regarding strikes against suspected drug smuggling boats and attacks on Venezuela show that Congress has been too willing to cede its constitutional responsibilities. This pattern must end. The American people did not elect a president to unilaterally invade allied territories or drag us into forever wars without congressional debate and approval.
I ask that you publicly support Senator Gallego's war powers resolution and use your voice to oppose any aggressive actions toward Greenland. Our alliances, our Constitution, and our credibility as a nation depend on rejecting this dangerous approach to foreign policy.
