Issue Position: War

Issue Position

We must end the wars that are being waged to defend fossil fuel interests. The United States should not attack Iran nor participate in any attack initiated by Israel.

It's time to bring all our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan; including private military contractors.

Congress has abdicated its constitutional responsibilities by handing the Executive branch virtually unlimited authority to wage war on the scale and in the fashion of its choosing. This has resulted in catastrophic and costly crimes against humanity such as we have seen in Iraq and Libya, and as we see continuing in an increasing number of countries including Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, and others. Congress must lead the way in turning away from these disastrous policies by ripping up the President's blank legal and financial check for waging war.

We can set an example for the rest of the world by fostering cooperation and dialogue with all countries of the world.
