Action Alert: January 7th, 2020

NO WAR IN IRAN:

1. Sign Move On Petition:  https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/no-more-illegal-wars-cancelsotu-until-we-have-full-debate-on-trump-s-war-powers

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].

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.

 

2.  Since we have the benefit of having our Congressional representative in a leadership position, let’s call him and ask that he help rein in this catastrophe by cutting off funding.

Congressman Ben Ray Lujan
2323 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20515
Phone: (202) 225-6190
Fax: (202) 226-1528


IMPEACHMENT:

This afternoon, the Washington Post reported that Mitch McConnell has the votes to force his witness-free sham impeachment trial through to the Senate. That means he could bring a vote on the rules as soon as the House sends over the articles, which could be as soon as tomorrow — unless we stop him.

As a reminder, this is the “trial” where they’re planning to not hear from any witnesses. Yeah, that’s just as ridiculous as it sounds.

We must ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to let McConnell get away with this sham.

  1. Call your senators and tell them No Sham Trial. This isn’t over until the votes are cast — your voice could be the one to tip the scales.

Anti-War Protests  (via “Retake Our Democracy”)

The Trump-ordered killing of Iranian General Gen. Qassem Soleimani has put us on the brink of another unnecessary, potentially devastating war. Last Saturday, we helped organize an anti-war rally at the Roundhouse that was reported on the front page of the Santa Fe New Mexican. We are working with the faith community and other justice organizations to organize another, hopefully far larger, rally and march on Sat., Jan. 11, at noon, again convening at the Roundhouse and then marching to the Santa Fe Plaza. If you are nearby, we hope you will join us. If you are in other parts of the state, we encourage you to find a protest near you or to organize a protest in your community.
