THE PLACER COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY CONDEMNS PRESIDENT TRUMP’S MISSILE STRIKES ON IRAN
The Placer County Democratic Party strongly condemns the recent missile strikes launched by President Trump against targets within Iran. Going against his promise to keep the U.S out of foreign conflicts, these attacks represent a dangerous escalation that risks dragging our communities—and the world—into more endless war.
“We are everyday people—teachers, veterans, nurses, and neighbors—and we’re tired of war being waged in our name without our consent,” said JT Weddell, speaking on behalf of the Placer County Democratic Central Committee’s (PCDCC) Communications Committee. “These strikes don’t make us safer. They make the world more unstable.”
“The actions by President Trump are shocking and are reminiscent of the government’s manufactured crisis that led up to the invasion of Iraq. Saturday night’s strikes set a very dangerous precedent and endanger the lives of U.S. servicemembers and citizens currently abroad,” said Nick Bennett, Chair of the PCDCC and an Iraq War veteran.
The PCDCC is calling on our elected officials at the local, state, and national levels to speak out against this needless military incursion and to demand a return to good-faith diplomacy. The PCDCC also urges local residents to contact their representatives and make their voices heard.
