[Peace-discuss] clarification: Rodney Davis is still "leaning no."

[Robert Naiman]

In the WICD clip I sent around, the reporter says at the end something
along the lines of: "Rep. Davis told us he is not supporting military
force."

This may have given some people the impression that Davis had firmly
committed to a no vote.

He hasn't committed to a no vote, unfortunately. That ABC report was a
little misleading in that regard. I just called his office in DC, they said
he is still "leaning no."

However, this is a good sign:
