It’s time for Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, and our congressional Representative Adison McDowell, to speak out against this immoral and illegal war. Silence is complicity.

Silence is complicity. As a taxpayer, I am outraged that my tax dollars are funding the war against Iran initiated by President Trump in our name. It is both immoral and illegal, in total disregard for the Constitution. Meanwhile, our legislators in Washington have totally abdicated their responsibility to be a check on the authoritarian actions of this president.

Our nation is spending billions on war, and Trump is asking for a trillion more, while continuing to cut healthcare and food assistance programs for our own citizens. Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, which are essential to seniors, are also on the chopping block. Trump threatens to destroy a whole civilization in the Middle East while people in this country are struggling to fill their gas tanks, and food prices will continue to rise due to increase transportation costs.

It’s time for Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, and our congressional Representative Adison McDowell, to speak out against this immoral and illegal war. Silence is complicity.
