<div dir="ltr">As of 3pm ET, 107 Reps had signed the Rigell letter, including 16 Democrats. Barbara Lee is also circulating a letter which more Ds will surely sign, but for our purposes the Rigell letter is more interesting, because it's more likely that Davis will sign a Republican letter. The letter has been extended to this evening. I get an answering machine at the DC office, but a human being at the local office.<div>

<div>The letter closes at 12 ET, 11 central. It says that
President Obama shouldn't attack Syria without Congressional
approval, and that Congress should be called back into session
if need be. It's plausible that Davis would sign, because it's
a mostly Republican letter (Rigell is an R and as of yesterday
afternoon's Politico report, 27 Rs and 6 Ds had signed.)
