[Peace-discuss] could u call Rodney Davis to stop rush to Iraq war?

[Robert Naiman via Peace-discuss]

I concede that we have not had much success so far moving Rodney Davis. He
is no Tim Johnson. :)

However, if he were ever going to do anything, he should do this. The ask
here is simply to sign a bipartisan letter saying that consistent with the
Constitution, the President must come to Congress before using force in
Iraq.

Dear Robert,

Some people claim that there’s nothing we can do to stop the President from
launching a new war in Iraq, if that’s what he decides to do. But last
August, when the President had decided to bomb Syria, *we proved that
wasn’t true.* When 192 Members of the House said he had to come to Congress
for authorization before using military force, the President decided to go
to Congress. When he couldn’t get authorization for force, he chose
diplomacy instead.

*We have the same opportunity now.* If we can get enough Members of
Congress to sign the Rigell-Lee letter saying that the President has to
come to Congress before using force, we can stop the rush to war.

*Call Rep. Rodney Davis now at (202) 225-2371 <%28202%29%20225-2371>.* When
you speak to a staffer, say:

I urge Rep. Rodney Davis to sign the Rigell-Lee letter, saying the
President must come to Congress for authorization before using force in
Iraq. I would like to know whether Rep. Rodney Davis plans to sign the
Rigell-Lee letter.

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