[Peace-discuss] 107 Reps sign letter demanding Syria vote; letter extended; pls call Davis

[Robert Naiman]

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.

Champaign: 217-403-4690.
DC: (202) 225-2371
