NO MORE WARS
(Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, no more wars. The majority of Americans do
[[Page H2936]]
not support our country getting into another endless war.
President Trump violated the United States Constitution by sending
the United States troops to bomb Iran without congressional
authorization.
Taking our country to war requires a vote in Congress. Every single
one of us represents close to 800,000 people, and they deserve a vote.
The American people do not want another war. They do not want us
spending endless amounts of money to invest in death and destruction.
They want us to fund Medicaid, housing, and Head Start. They want
access to clean water and so many critical programs that our
communities desperately need.
We have seen our government manufacture consent for the invasion of
Iraq that killed and displaced millions of people, our loved ones, and
created total devastation and instability in the region.
We have seen our government lie about weapons of mass destruction
before. We are not going to fall for it again. Instead of listening to
the American people who are saying no more wars, Trump is listening to
genocidal maniac war criminal Netanyahu who lied about Iraq and now is
lying about Iran.
