<p></p><div>Dear Robert,<br>
<br>
President Obama is under heavy pressure to order direct U.S. military intervention in Iraq and Syria. But as Thomas Friedman wrote in the New York Times, avoiding direct U.S. military involvement in these two countries’ civil wars is the “least bad option.” [1] <br>
<br>
Thanks to Reps. Barbara Lee [2] and John Conyers, <b>we have a crucial opportunity TODAY</b> to push back against the warmongers. The House will be voting on amendments to the defense appropriation that would <b>block direct U.S. military action in Iraq and block the U.S. supply of manpads to Syrian insurgents. </b><br>
<br>
</div><b>Call Rep. Rodney Davis at <a href="tel:%28202%29%20225-2371" value="+12022252371" target="_blank">(202) 225-2371</a> today. </b>When you reach a staffer (or leave a voice mail) say<p></p><div>
<blockquote>I urge you to support Barbara Lee’s amendments to the defense appropriation to block funds from being used to wage another war in Iraq, and the Yoho-Conyers amendment to block the transfer of manpads to Syrian insurgents. Congress must assert its Constitutional responsibility to publicly decide when the United States goes to war.</blockquote>
