We the People Wednesdays Action for January 7, 2026

ACTION 1:

Trump’s bombing and regime-decapitation operation in Venezuela was unconstitutional. The Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to decide when, where, and against whom the United States goes to war. The use of offensive force is constitutionally permissible only if Congress has authorized action, as it did before the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.  Congress has the power and responsibility to ensure that these solemn decisions of war and peace are made democratically, accountably, and in line with our Constitution.  The Senate will vote tomorrow on a war powers resolution to halt Trump’s use of military force against Venezuela

Call both senators to support the war powers resolution. Leave a voicemail identifying yourself and adapting this message:

Vote to support the war powers resolution to halt Trump’s use of military force against Venezuela.

Senator Fetterman: (202) 224-4254

Senator McCormick: (202) 224-6324

ACTION 2:

Enhanced ACA subsidies expired in December, resulting in huge increases in health insurance premiums for millions of Americans. The House is expected to vote this week to restore the subsidies, and then it will be up to the senate.

Write to our Senators to support extension of the enhanced ACA subsidies.  Adapt this sample text:

Dear Senator XXX,

  Please vote to restore enhanced ACA subsidies, to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to healthcare.

Sincerely,

<your name and zip code>

Senator John Fetterman

Washington, DC 20510

Senator Dave McCormick
