WAR: It's Not the President's Decision

The U.S. Constitution leaves the decision to wage war to Congress, and Congress 
can enforce its decision not to wage war by refusing to fund it.  Blocking a 
funding bill for wars requires the House of Representatives alone, and both 
Democrats and Republicans in the House are rapidly joining us in saying No to 
war funding.

It's time to finally get serious, to lobby, to protest, to sit in, to 
nonviolently disrupt and resist in local district offices until enough 
Representatives commit to voting No on any bill to fund more war.

Here's a link to a rapidly-changing whip list in the form of a google document 
that you can embed on your own website:
