The U.S. government may or may not possess the nefarious genius to secretly rig the Super Bowl in order for Taylor Swift to set the country's course for the next decade, but thank goodness it lacks the basic competence to pass a bill to send weapons to its wars.

If the peace movement had a secret plant inside the government, it would have to be whoever came up with the idea, months ago now, to put into one single bill the purchasing and shipping of weapons to Israel, Ukraine, Taiwan, and the Mexican border.

As we've worked to build pressure against sending more weapons to any of those places, enough members of Congress have agreed with us on at least one of them to result in, thus far, shipping weapons to none of them.

The warmongers and the weapons corporations are very far from giving up. They'll try new angles, multiple bills, and all sorts of pressure. So, we need to use the coming days to convince our supposed representatives to represent us. We need them to know exactly how popular or unpopular they will be depending on what they do now. Click here to tell them. Then share this.
