This Week: Prevent War on Venezuela
Hi Friends,
Both houses of Congress are expected to vote — compelled by privileged resolutions (H. Con. Res. 64 and S. J. Res. 98) — with at least the House vote happening this week, on whether or not to block war on Venezuela. The votes are expected to be close.
This is a rare opportunity to prevent a war by speaking up loudly enough and in great enough numbers to make Congress listen!

Similar votes in the Senate narrowly failed in October and November, with the White House promising senators there would be no war and thus no need to vote to prevent a war.
Recent news reports have made it harder to pretend to believe such promises or to continue accepting the murders of boaters suddenly recognized as murders by many media outlets.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said recently:
"What will stop them is when you blow them up, when you get rid of them,” Mr. Rubio added. “And it’ll happen again. Maybe it’s happening right now, I don’t know, but the point is the president of the United States is going to wage war on narco-terrorist organizations."
And this:
"Nicolás Maduro is not a government or political regime. They are a terrorist organization and organized crime organization that have taken over a country so that they can become the leaders, so that they can become billionaires. And that is why they were indicted by the courts in the U.S."
This is a threat to violate the UN Charter, the U.S. Constitution, and of course countless campaign promises, by starting another regime-change war.
