Tell Them — Vote for AUMF Resolution
Rallies in Dearborn and 8 More Michigan Cities on Jan 9th
The Michigan Unitarian Universalist Social Justice Network (MUUSJN) joins a chorus of peace, justice and faith organizations calling for protest of President Trump’s assassination of a top commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Qassim Suleimani. This is an act of war with a country that #45 has been provoking since he withdrew from the Iranian nuclear arms reduction treaty.
TWO OPTIONS FOR ACTION:
Call your U.S. Representative. A vote in the U.S. House is expected on January 9th on a resolution that would require President Trump to get approval from Congress (an Authorization of the Use of Military Force) before declaring war on Iran.
Tell your U.S. Representative:
a. I want my Representative ______________ to vote for a resolution requiring approval of Congress before launching a war with Iran. According to our Constitution, only Congress can declare war.
b. Speak against President Trump’s assassination of Iran’s top military commander.
c. Do everything possible to stop a war with Iran.
d. What are you planning to say about this situation to your colleagues or to the Administration?
