Salt Lake Indivisible

At a committee hearing this afternoon, Burton acknowledged his "300 dead people voted" statement is not true, and the Senate ultimately killed his bill that would've made it harder to vote by mail or dropbox.

ACTION over ANXIETY Salt Lake Indivisible TODAY'S ACTION 3/3 Today please call both of your Senators and your House Member and tell them to support the War Powers Resolution. Remind them that an act of congress is required to engage in acts of war. It is important to remember that several months ago when we bombed Iran this president said we took out all nuclear capabilitites. It is also rich to recall that in 2018 he destroyed the JCPOA Agreement, which helped limit Iran's nuclear capabilities. Download 5 calls and see how easy they make it to call all of your reps.

We have to continue calling and make them hear us
