Sen.Rueben Gallegos,
I woke up this morning at home in Arizona. I made breakfast for my son.
While I was doing it, I was thinking about where I was about two decades ago. My friends were getting blown up and killed in Al Anbar, Iraq. They died in an illegal war we never should’ve had to fight.
Donald Trump does not have the authority to send more working class American kids to fight in Iran. It’s a regime change war, same as Iraq. It’s a war of choice. It’s wrong. It’s illegal. Period.
Strikes are underway and Congress has not voted. John Thune needs to call the Senate back to vote on a War Powers Resolution to stop this. Tim Kaine has one in the Senate, and it needs to be voted on. I will take the next flight.
I need you with me on this.
The Iranian regime is evil.
For nearly half a century, it has inflicted death and destruction on Americans and our allies.
I know that firsthand. I was wounded by an Iranian-made bomb while serving in Iraq.
I also know this: wars without a plan are dangerous.
Forever wars drain American strength, put our troops at risk without clear purpose, distract from real strategic priorities, and divert resources we should be investing at home.
With American troops in harm’s way, the President owes Congress and the American people immediate answers.
What is the mission? What is the strategy?
What is the end state?
The Constitution requires it.
Thank you for reading,
Alex Vindamn. Candidate for U.S. Senate. Florida.
