Call Script

My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.

As my representative in Congress, you need to defend our Constitution against Trump's usurpation of the power to declare war.  Don’t let him grab power to use our military for his personal gain.

Background

Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the U.S. Constitution says: "Congress shall have Power … To declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water;"

Yet on January 8, wannabe king Trump asserted to the New York Times that his power to unilaterally use military force internationally and domestically is constrained only by: "My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

For months, ICE and other federal agents have escalated their operations in neighborhoods across the country, resulting in increasingly disturbing scenes and illegal conduct. Our communities have been left reeling as agents have arrested U.S. citizens, dragged children from their beds in the middle of the night in zip-ties, smashed car windows, and even driven away from an arrest scene with a toddler still in the backseat. Now, ICE agents have tragically killed without just cause a beloved community member in Minneapolis. And yet, the administration has the audacity to ask Congress for even more money to detain and deport people.
