Not One Penny for Trump's Illegal War in Iran

I am writing to demand that you vote against the National Defense Authorization Act in its current form. This bill must not pass as a vehicle for President Trump's illegal war agenda in Iran. Let me be direct: Congress must not authorize or fund military operations against Iran. This would be unconstitutional war-making without proper congressional approval. The President has no authority to wage war on Iran, and no amount of legislative sleight-of-hand changes that fundamental truth. If Trump wants to drag America into another Middle East conflict, he must make that case openly to Congress and the American people—not bury it in defense spending bills. Yet that is precisely what is happening. Speaker Johnson's cynical "MIRV" procedure exposes the corruption of this process. Unable to pass the Save America Act on its own merits—a voter suppression bill that would disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans—Republicans are weaponizing the NDAA, our nation's core military spending bill, to force passage of unrelated partisan legislation. This is contemptible. The NDAA should authorize legitimate defense spending and be debated on that basis alone. Instead, it has become a hostage to Trump's demands. Republicans are willing to destabilize the legislative process itself, holding essential defense authorization hostage until Democrats capitulate to voter suppression. We cannot allow this. Voting rights and war authorization are too important for backroom deals and parliamentary tricks. The American people deserve transparent debate on both issues—separately. On Iran specifically: Not one penny should fund an illegal war. If the President believes military action against Iran is necessary, he must come before Congress, present evidence, answer questions, and seek a formal declaration of war. Hiding war authorization inside a merged bill is an assault on constitutional democracy. I urge you to vote no on this NDAA. Demand that it be separated from the Save America Act. Insist that any Iran military operations receive explicit, transparent congressional authorization—not covert funding buried in defense spending. Defend Congress's power of the purse. Defend constitutional war powers. Reject this cynical manipulation.
