Do it now. Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices. Script here again.
A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran: 

YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m a constituent from [ZIP CODE]. 

YOU: I’m calling to demand [MOC/SENATOR] take urgent action after the United States joined Israel in launching strikes on Iran today.  

YOU: The Trump administration has again taken military action without any specific Congressional authorization. President Trump has also confirmed that the U.S. has undertaken “major operations” in Iran and has also said “U.S. lives might be lost.” 

YOU: I am calling on [MOC/SENATOR] to call for the following actions immediately:  

- Public clarification on the scope of U.S. involvement
- Call for and support support the Khanna–Massie War Powers Resolution in the House.
- Oppose ANY funding for military escalation without Congressional authorization. 

YOU: Are we or are we not at war with Iran? Congress needs to answer this question, and do it quickly. 

YOU: [OPTIONAL COMMENTS – e.g. Clarify you’d like a written response]

I wish I knew who made this. If you know, please tell me. I got it from Roxie Power. It’s the only chart I’ve ever understood.

The worst part of being a writer is sometimes you have to leave the house.

This is not new news, but I noticed the norm around here is to pin something good at the top of our pages. By norm, I mean it’s what chen chen does. (Thanks to all you friends, poets, writers and publishers for being here. 💙) poems.com/poem/sternoc...
