Dear Robert,

I know we wrote you yesterday. But: 1) yesterday, the vote on the Schiff
amendment to repeal the 2001 AUMF was postponed until *this morning*
and 2) *your
Representative, Rodney Davis, *is a key Republican target to flip from no
to yes. He voted against the Republican leadership to support the
Amash-Conyers amendment to stop NSA blanket surveillance. But last year he
voted no on AUMF repeal.

Can you call Rep. Davis now at *855-686-6927 <855-686-6927>*, urging him to
vote yes on the Schiff amendment to repeal the 2001 AUMF? If you called
yesterday, can you please call again, and urge others in the district to
call? The vote is likely to be very close.

Thanks for all you do. The alert we sent yesterday is below.

Today, the House of Representatives is voting on the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA). Last night, the House Rules Committee allowed a
vote on the Schiff amendment repealing the 2001 Authorization for the Use
of Military Force. A similar amendment got close last year; *today*, *the
Schiff amendment repealing the 2001 AUMF could pass the House*.

Please contact your Representative *NOW*.

Call by using this special toll-free* number: *1-855-68 NO WAR*
(*1-855-686-6927
<1-855-686-6927>*). This number will connect you with the Capitol
Switchboard operator, and you should ask to be connected to your
Representative’s office. Introduce yourself as a constituent, and then make
the following ask:

*SUPPORT Amendment #21, the Schiff (D-CA)-Garamendi (D-CA) amendment to
repeal the 2001 authorization for the use of military force. *The 2001 AUMF
has been used as justification for 13 years of war in Afghanistan,
indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay, and unaccountable drone strikes in
Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.

*Please take two minutes right now to call your Representative on this
important issue. Call toll-free 1-855-686-6927 <1-855-686-6927> NOW!*
