No "Preventive" War with North Korea

Congress must stop the president from starting (or threatening) a war of choice, with or without nuclear weapons. New legislation would block the president from starting a "preventive" war with North Korea without congressional consent – our best chance to avoid a catastrophic war.

I urge you to speak out against a war of choice with North Korea and unrestrained increases in Pentagon spending. As a first step, please work to pass H.R. 4837, the No Unconstitutional Strike Against North Korea Act.

All of us should condemn the Kim regime’s terrible treatment of the North Korean people and its dangerous drive for more and more nuclear weaponry. Yet, I’m deeply concerned about the destructive toll of a preventive military attack on North Korea that White House advisers have seriously discussed as an option.

This is about more than North Korea. This is about who we are as a nation and how we keep our country safe. Our nation already spends far more on military force than any other nation on earth, yet at home too much of our infrastructure crumbles and rusts, and too many among us lack basic shelter and food for three meals a day. I urge you to only support spending legislation that rights this balance and prevents new spending on war, that protects immigrants, keeps families together, and provides a path out of poverty for our friends and neighbors at home.
