Dear Robert,

President Obama is under heavy pressure to order direct U.S. military
intervention in Iraq and Syria. But as Thomas Friedman wrote in the New
York Times, avoiding direct U.S. military involvement in these two
countries’ civil wars is the “least bad option.” [1]

Thanks to Reps. Barbara Lee [2] and John Conyers, *we have a crucial
opportunity TODAY* to push back against the warmongers. The House will be
voting on amendments to the defense appropriation that would *block direct
U.S. military action in Iraq and block the U.S. supply of manpads to Syrian
insurgents. *

*Call Rep. Rodney Davis at (202) 225-2371 <%28202%29%20225-2371> today. *When
you reach a staffer (or leave a voice mail) say

I urge you to support Barbara Lee’s amendments to the defense appropriation
to block funds from being used to wage another war in Iraq, and the
Yoho-Conyers amendment to block the transfer of manpads to Syrian
insurgents. Congress must assert its Constitutional responsibility to
publicly decide when the United States goes to war.

When you're done, *report your call* with our easy response form:
