Indivisible:Tell your senators: No war with Venezuela.
https://indivisible.org/resource/call-now-demand-senate-block-trumps-unauthorized-military-operation-venezuela
(It got way worse since this email went out) HOWEVER
The Senate will be voting after the holiday on War Powers legislation that would block the march to war. Call your senators and urge them to vote yes. (which is no to war powers)
CALL NOW: Demand the Senate Block Trumps Unauthorized Military Operation in Venezuela
The regime has offered no legal justification for these actions, nor have they received congressional authorization, even though the Constitution states clearly that war powers belong to Congressnot the White House.
Senate Democrats have introduced War Powers Resolutions to block further military assaults on Venezuela. Every senator must vote to check this regimes lawless violence, or theres no telling where this will end.
Fill out this form right now, and well connect you to your senator. Tell them you expect them to vote YES on the War Powers Resolutions.

And a suggested script. YMMV
Hi, my name is [Your Name], and Im a constituent from [Your City, State].
Im calling to urge [Senators Name] to vote YES on the War Power Resolutions that would stop Trump from threatening war with Venezuela.
The White House has escalated their military pressure, carrying out lawless boat strikes, seizing an oil tanker, and stationing troops and aircraft carriers in the Caribbean. (AND TONS MORE SINCE THIS EMAIL WENT OUT) All without authorization from Congress.
Your constituents do not want another endless war. Im counting on you to check Trumps lawless attacks against Venezuela and support the War Powers Resolutions.

I just expanded it with the latest info, and included the most recent Indivisible Venezuela action item I found.
Credit where credit is due.
It's easier to see in a reply than the OP.
Check often. I am sure that the list will grow.
