[Peace-discuss] Let's urge Durbin to speak up in defense of diplomacy to free Bergdahl

[Robert Naiman via Peace-discuss]

It's a shame that you use your energy to argue for passivity and inaction.
Whether you like or dislike Durbin is not the point. Members of Congress
respond to pressure. Right now they are getting pressure from the right
wing. The question on the table is whether there should be pressure from
the left.

Durbin's number is (202) 224-2152. If you agree with Carl, do nothing.
