and urging them to become co-sponsors of the bill that prohibits the president from launching a missile in the absence of a Congressional Declaration of War. Of nine Massachusetts representatives in the House, only Reps. McGovern, Clark, and Tsongas have
cosponsored so far; especially if you are a constituent of Reps. Capuano, Kennedy, Moulton, Lynch, Keating, or Neal, please contact them! <b class=""><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/o/161/c/3952/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=21059" target="_blank" class="">You
