An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Urgent: Support a JRD to Block the $7.4 Billion Weapons Sale to Israel

9 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

I am contacting you today as a deeply concerned citizen to respectfully urge you to take immediate decisive legislative action by initiating, co-sponsoring, and supporting a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to block the proposed $7.4 billion weapons sale to Israel under the current administration. This arms deal raises several critical issues that merit thorough congressional review: National Security and Regional Stability: 
The proposed sale can potentially exacerbate tensions in an already volatile region. By increasing the flow of advanced weaponry, we risk further destabilizing the Middle East and compromising U.S. security interests at a time when careful, measured policy is more essential than ever. Congressional Oversight and Accountability: 
Allowing such a significant transaction to proceed without comprehensive legislative oversight undermines the essential balance of power between the executive and legislative branches. A Joint Resolution of Disapproval would reaffirm Congress’s constitutional role in shaping U.S. foreign policy and ensuring that major arms sales are conducted with transparency and due diligence. Promotion of Peace and Democratic Values: 
Blocking this arms deal would send a clear signal that the United States is committed to preventing unnecessary militarization and conflict. It would also align our actions with core democratic values—emphasizing accountability, transparency, and a measured approach to international engagement. A clear message must be sent to Israel that they must stop their continued genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation, and injustice against the people of Palestine. Please initiate, co-sponsor and support a JRD now! Send Trump a message that we must stop funding Israel!! Our tax dollars must not be used for weapons to Israel! Your leadership on this issue is vital. By standing in opposition to this arms sale, you will not only help safeguard U.S. national security interests but also reinforce our nation’s commitment to peace, accountability, and responsible governance on the global stage. For additional details and a comprehensive analysis of the risks and implications associated with this sale, I encourage you to review the memo available at:
