Congress must act immediately to vote on the "No First Use" bill, H.R. 669.
    

	Michael -

	Once again Donald Trump is making dangerous comments about North Korea, and once again he is putting the American people at risk.

	Trump threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea and said the country "won't be around much longer" – comments that North Korea's Foreign Minister has called a declaration of war.

	Congress must act immediately to vote on the “No First Use” bill, H.R. 669, to prevent Trump from unilaterally launching a nuclear strike. Barbara co-sponsored this legislation with Rep. Ted Lieu, and right now she needs you to join her.

	Add your name to call on Congress to vote on H.R. 669, legislation that would prohibit Trump from authorizing a nuclear strike against North Korea. Escalation is not the answer.

	Over the past week or so, Donald Trump and North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un have been calling each other names and exchanging a number of military threats. This behavior is as outrageous as it is dangerous. Enough is enough.

	Barbara knows that there is no military solution in North Korea. The U.S. must pursue diplomacy and reach a peaceful solution that does not put U.S. troops and families in danger. Direct talks are our best opportunity for resolving this conflict without the use of force.

	At this moment it is extremely important that Congress vote on H.R. 669, the "No First Use" bill that curbs Trump's ability to launch a nuclear strike. It’s the responsibility of Congress, not the White House, to debate and vote on military action.

	Join Barbara Lee today if you agree that Congress must vote on H.R. 669 to prevent Trump from pursuing military escalation in North Korea.

	We cannot allow tensions with North Korea to spiral out of control or run the risk of Trump making reckless military decisions. Thanks for joining Barbara today to call on Congress to act.

	Onward,

	Team Barbara Lee
