[Peace-discuss] Join FCNL: Tell Rodney Davis TODAY to Repeal 2001 AUMF

[Robert Naiman via Peace-discuss]

FCNL thinks this amendment could pass the House today. A similar amendment
last year got more than 180 votes. If it passes, it will be a very big
deal. Most Dems will support; some Tea Party Rs will support. Whether it
passes or fails largely depends on "swing" Rs like Rodney Davis.

Please call. Takes two minutes.

the following ask:

*SUPPORT Amendment #21, the Schiff (D-CA)-Garamendi (D-CA) amendment to

Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.
