Raymond Allen BilgerDemocratic candidate for U.S. House in Pennsylvania's 15th district, on his campaign website
Ray Bilger, the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania's 15th congressional district, says on his campaign website that he supports a War Powers Resolution to end U.S. military involvement in Iran. He argues the conflict was entered without a clear objective, adequate planning, or coordination with allies, and was not prompted by a direct threat to the United States.
“We must support a War Powers Resolution now to rein in Trump’s war in Iran.”

“I support an effort to stop attacks on Americans by Iran and its’ proxies, restore peace in the Middle East and the restoration of prosperity to Iranian people. How we get there is the something that must be addressed. I am not in favor of boots on the ground at this time, but to make a final judgement without understanding capabilities, ally support and course of action would be premature.”Read statement
