A Message to Republican Members of Congress from former Republican Members of Congress

"The best chance of preventing President Trump from acting on his threats to attack civilian targets in Iran so that in his words '[a] whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again' is for Republican members of Congress to speak out clearly and immediately. We urge you in the strongest way possible to make public statements that any attacks should be made against only military targets."
