The United States sends bombs.
@codepinkalert Sen. Jim Banks has voted in support of continuing the unprovoked and illegal U.S. war on Iran. When we asked him about it, though, he could only deflect with lies about CODEPINK's funding. Meanwhile, his campaign has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from AIPAC. Banks knows he can't defend one of the most unpopular wars in U.S. history, so he doesn't even try.

@codepinkalert Lindsey Graham says the U.S. war on Iran is a "great investment." We went to his office today to ask his staff if he thinks that "investment" is worth putting our sons and daughters in harm's way.

@codepinkalert According to Senator Rick Scott, if you care about children dying in war, you must be Russian, Iranian, or Chinese. Let him know: we are Americans, and don’t support this horrible war in Iran for Israel. Call his office: (202) 224-5274
