It's a Slippery Slope to War: Ask Your Congressional Rep to Oppose H. Con. Res. 362

image The U.S. House of Representatives is considering a new resolution that could effectively demand a blockade against Iran -- an act that would be widely seen as an act of war and could invite Iranian retaliation, possibly leading us into a shooting war.

Over the last three weeks, 77 House Democrats and 92 Republicans have agreed to cosponsor this resolution, but we think many do not realize its dangerous implications. Read more about H. Con. Res. 362 here.

We urge you to ask your representative not to support this dangerous step toward war with Iran.
