here’s where you find your representative’s name and contact information and
here’s where you can read about hr 3205
and heres where you can actually read hr 3205
hr 3205 is a proposed bill to classify fentanyl as a chemical weapon. this classification is a fearmongering tactic to get more resources out of mexico. and it’s bullshit. fentanyl is a public health issue, not a military issue. it is not a chemical weapon, it is a drug.
a two-minute phone call can make a difference. “hello, my name is [name] and i am a constituent in [town], [state]. i am calling to say that i do not support hr 3205, and i urge [representative] to say no to hr 3205. i do not need a response. thank you for your time.”
this bill is a stepping stone to worse things. it legitimizes the right’s claims that mexican cartels are targeting america to destabilize democracy (no i am not joking. it’s in the bill.) and further established the ludicrous idea that we have the right to bomb other countries- especially over, again, a public health issue.
as the wola article says, the president can choose to authorize missile strikes on chemical weapon factories without congressional approval.
it may not be comfortable to call. but this is important. it paves the way for worse things. it may be anxiety-inducing. but being bombed is worse than anxiety-inducing.
please make a 2-minute call and help stop this classification. thanks
