<p>Some press reports have suggested that the U.S. could begin airstrikes in Iraq at any time. <b>Our best tool to stop this is to press President Obama to come to Congress for authorization before using military force</b>, as required by the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Resolution. Pressing the President to come to Congress for authorization was essential to stopping the U.S. from going to war in Syria last year. [1]</p>
<p><b>Urge your Representative to join in pressing President Obama to come to Congress, by signing our petition at MoveOn:</b></p>

<p>California Democrat and Virginia Republican Scott Rigell have initiated a bipartisan letter to President Obama, pressing him to respect the Constitutional requirement to come to Congress for authorization before using military force.</p>
<p><b>Urge your Representative to sign the Lee-Rigell letter by signing and sharing our petition</b>. The petition will be automatically delivered to your Representative when you sign.</p>
