> Yesterday, the House passed my bill to repeal the dangerous 2002 AUMF and prevent Trump’s war with Iran. It’s about time the House reassert its Constitutional authority to declare war and peace.
> 
> For the last three years, Trump has threatened our national security and pushed us toward war with Iran. He unilaterally pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal -- which was working. Then, under his direct orders, the U.S. government assassinated a senior Iranian official and conducted airstrikes without Congressional approval.
> 
> Trump is making our world less safe.
> 
> That’s why I’m teaming up with VoteVets, the largest advocacy organization representing the rights and lives of veterans and military families. Together, we’re committed to electing progressive leaders up and down the ballot to stop Trump’s dangerous policies.
> 
> We’re running out of time before our end-of-month deadline expires at midnight. Can you rush a donation between my campaign and VoteVets now to help us build the resources it will take to stop Trump’s dangerous agenda and elect progressives across the country? <https://click.ngpvan.com/k/14507894/152099002/-1162635852?refcode=em-200131-vv&firstname=C.%20G.&lastname=&email=cge%40shout.net&addr1=&city=Champaign&state=IL&zip=61820&phone=&employer=&occupation=&amount=10&nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9OR1AvTkdQMTAvMS83OTMxOSIsDQogICJEaXN0cmlidXRpb25VbmlxdWVJZCI6ICJmNTQ1YWE4Mi03OTQ0LWVhMTEtYTFjYy0wMDE1NWQwM2IxZTgiLA0KICAiRW1haWxBZGRyZXNzIjogImNnZUBzaG91dC5uZXQiDQp9&hmac=APWMMnddaeqy4gML4T7r7FG3w91MtwrezIqQNxGTfUA=>

> In 2001, I was the only member of Congress to vote against the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF). I received death threats, needed bodyguards, was labeled anti-American, and was vilified in the press.
> 
> But I never backed down. Even then, I saw what the AUMF would become in the hands of someone like Trump.
> 
> The next year, more people joined me to vote against the 2002 Iraq AUMF. Now in 2020, even more have joined the bipartisan fight to sunset these AUMFs for good.
> 
> I will never stop leading the fight in Congress to repeal this outdated and overly broad authorization and I want to be very clear: Trump has no authorization to drag us into war with Iran.
