<p>Dear Robert,<br>
<br>
Some people claim that there’s nothing we can do to stop the President from launching a new war in Iraq, if that’s what he decides to do. But last August, when the President had decided to bomb Syria, <b>we proved that wasn’t true.</b> When 192 Members of the House said he had to come to Congress for authorization before using military force, the President decided to go to Congress. When he couldn’t get authorization for force, he chose diplomacy instead.<br>
<br>
<b>We have the same opportunity now.</b> If we can get enough Members of Congress to sign the Rigell-Lee letter saying that the President has to come to Congress before using force, we can stop the rush to war.<br>
<br>
<b>Call Rep. Rodney Davis now at <a href="tel:%28202%29%20225-2371" value="+12022252371" target="_blank">(202) 225-2371</a>.</b> When you speak to a staffer, say:</p>
<blockquote>I urge Rep. Rodney Davis to sign the Rigell-Lee letter, saying the President must come to Congress for authorization before using force in Iraq. I would like to know whether Rep. Rodney Davis plans to sign the Rigell-Lee letter.</blockquote>
<p>When you're done, <b>report your call</b> with our easy response form: <br>
