<p>Dear Claudia,</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">I’ve got some urgent news.</span></strong> Congressional negotiations for the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) have ended and FCNL has learned that the final bill completely fails to reassert
 Congress’s war authority and end endless wars.</p>
<p>Our top three priorities are being stripped out, meaning this NDAA won’t end U.S. support for the Saudi-UAE led war in Yemen; it won’t prevent an unauthorized war against Iran; and it won’t repeal the 2002 Iraq war authorization – even 8 years after the
 Iraq war ended. This is immoral and a complete abdication of Congressional responsibility.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif">Your voice is needed. </span></strong><span style="color:#4472c4"><a href="https://act.fcnl.org/call/tell-congress-vote-no-ndaa-does-not-end-endless-war/?t=16&utm_campaign=lam&utm_source=ak&utm_medium=email&ak_proof=1&akid=11479%2E120452%2EMZRpg0" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#4472c4">Urge

<p>Approving an NDAA without these critical provisions would enable more endless war, damage U.S. national security, erode congressional war authority, and reject the will of the American people to promote peace. While this is indeed unfortunate news, this
 is not over yet.</p>
<p>Thank you for making this <a href="https://act.fcnl.org/call/tell-congress-vote-no-ndaa-does-not-end-endless-war/?t=18&utm_campaign=lam&utm_source=ak&utm_medium=email&ak_proof=1&akid=11479%2E120452%2EMZRpg0" target="_blank">
important call</a> to Rep. Sarbanes and for standing up for peace. By working together, we can make a difference.  </p>
