An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Hold Trump accountable for his blatant lies to American media.

14 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

One of the most important tenets of the United States constitution is freedom of the press. However, there is absolutely no point whatsoever to supporting a free press if the people and events being reported on are misconstrued or covered up. A CNN anchor recently remarked on the bombing of Iranian girls’ school that the American people can accept that mistakes are made in war. While that may be true, we are not even given that opportunity because the president has dodged, diverted, and pointed fingers all over the place. The American people cannot accept what they cannot see. Iranian citizens are recording and somehow transmitting what is happening there overseas. We only know what’s happening in Iran right now because of independent journalism taking place in Tehran. We know, based on this illicit information, what is actually happening in the Middle East- and our own government tells us stories that just don’t match up with what we can see for ourselves. I am urging you to sanction this “excursion” in Iran. I am urging you to curtail the lies and evil doings of the current administration. I am urging you to get the United States out of the Middle East, to update the American people on what is actually happening there, and to demand accountability from the Trump administration by any means necessary.
