No more illegal wars: #CancelSOTU until we have full debate on Trump's war powers
Resist Donald Trump's reckless and dangerous march towards an all out catastrophic war against Iran by grinding the House of Representatives to a complete halt. Immediately stop deliberation all legislation related to government funding and cancel Trump's appearance at the State of the Union (#CancelSOTU) until we have real debate and hearings on Trump's war powers. No more Illegal wars.
Why is this important?
Donald Trump has put our country and the entire world on the edge of a catastrophic war in the Middle East by launching attacks against based on reportedly questionable evidence [See https://twitter.com/rcallimachi/status/1213421769777909761].
Trump is so out of control that he is now repeatedly threatening to commit war crimes by Iranian targets of cultural heritage. Destroying a country’s sites of cultural significance is classified as a war crime by not only the United Nations and the Geneva Convention, but also by Trump’s own Department of Defense per section 5.18 in its Law of War Manual.

We are at this dark period of our country history because up until now House Democrats have not recognized the urgency of all our resistance against Trump. This is why they essentially gave him a blank check by approved a massive defensive spending bill before the Holidays which included funding for Trump's fantasy space force.
Time is now for Speaker Pelosi and House Democratic Leadership to wage an all out resistance against Trump - and force him to back away from plunging us into a global catastrophe bringing destruction and losses of thousands of innocent of lives.
Enough is enough. Congress cannot let Trump wage wars like a Tyrant without authorization. Democrats must do everything in their power to resist Donald Trump's reckless and dangerous march towards an all out catastrophic war against Ira by grinding the House of Representatives to a complete halt.
Sign the petition urging Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats to immediately stop deliberation on all legislation related to government funding and cancel Trump's appearance at the State of the Union (#CancelSOTU) until we have real debate and hearings on Trump's war powers. No more Illegal wars.
We need to speak out now. The louder we get - the more more it will create public pressure on Pelosi and Democrats to act and it will give them courage to resist.
