Stop House Resolution that will Start War with Iran

Thanks for working with us to oppose to the bill that seeks to impose a blockade on Iran, H.Con.Res. 362. As a result of your efforts and those of others, this dangerous resolution – which a House leadership aide predicted would pass through Congress like “a hot knife through butter” – remains stalled in committee. But the sponsors of the resolution continue to press for its passage.

This resolution calls for a naval blockade against Iran.  As Wikipedia explains, this is an act of war

It is the third part of the action portion of the resolution, after all of the “whereas” B.S. statements.  It says:

(3) demands that the President initiate an international effort to immediately and dramatically increase the economic, political, and diplomatic pressure on Iran to verifiably suspend its nuclear enrichment activities by, inter alia, prohibiting the export to Iran of all refined petroleum products; imposing stringent inspection requirements on all persons, vehicles, ships, planes, trains, and cargo entering or departing Iran; and prohibiting the international movement of all Iranian officials not involved in negotiating the suspension of Iran’s nuclear program;

LOOK BELOW the fold to see if your rat-faced  California Congressman is supporting this resolution. Give them a call or e-mail  them to give them a piece of your mind.
