Vote YES on House Concurrent Resolution 51

The United States Constitution requires congressional authorization to go to war. The administration has disregarded the Constitution. Instead, they have spun the conflict as a minor intervention or as part of NATO, but the fact remains that we‘re bombing another country and we pay, by far, the largest percentage of NATO‘s military bills. This is a war that we‘re leading – and it‘s a war that violates our Constitution and the War Powers Act. It‘s time we end this war.
