The Associated Press ‏@AP 1m

BREAKING: AP sources say Obama is considering seeking congressional authorization for action against Syria.


. . . seriously, call your Senators and representatives.

[gopiscrap]

1. done

Make congress vote on this!

[zappaman]

2. Can't.

Doing dishes...

[DURHAM D]

3. They are on vacation.

[bigtree]

6. meaning, they're likely back in their district or state

. . . best time to get in touch.

[MADem]

8. He's asking for an authorization.

What will people say when they vote for it?

[cali]

19. If my rep or senators vote for it, I'll be surprised. And disgusted.

My rep has said he's against it. Don't know about my Senators

[MADem]

20. We'll see what they say after they get a classified briefing.

You might be unhappy.

[Catherina]

4. Calling! Here's a list of phone numbers

I hope it's up-to-date https://www.numbersusa.com/content/congress/phone-numbers-and-mailing-addresses-memb.html

11. nice resource, Catherina

. . . more extensive than most.

Thanks!

[Catherina]

18. Looks like a resource for people on the other side but the list seems thorough

BigTree Thanks so much for always being so focused

[MADem]

5. They're probably pissed at the prospect of having to cut their summer holidays short! nt

[brooklynite]

7. ..and tell them what?

[bigtree]

12. I've told my Representatives and Senators to vote and vote against military action in Syria

. . . I'm a firm believer in advocating ANYONE with ANY view to keep them informed where they stand.

[brooklynite]

13. So, no point in a briefing then?

No evidence is good enough?

[bigtree]

17. I'm against military action in Syria, period

. . . I don't need a briefing from the President to make up my mind on that.

[TBF]

9. Pete Olson?

He loves warmongering.

Of course good republican that he is he will likely go against Obama just because that's what they do.

Maybe I should call.

[Catherina]

10. will seek approval of Congress 4 strikes against Syria. Willing to act without "paralyzed" UNSC n/t

[bigtree]

15. and without 'paralyzed' Britain

. . . oh, if we could just orchestrate a big fat 'no' vote.

[Catherina]

21. But France is raring to go to reimpose its will on its former colony

Yoohoo France! It's 2013. We no longer live in times of empires and colonies. Put your aspirations of reviving your colonial exploitation back to bed.

[andym]

14. No need

The House will never vote to approve anything the President proposes, even war.

[The Straight Story]

16. I'll call and tell them to vote with the President

He is right in what he said.

[Whisp]

22. so this is the Obama/Bush that goes to war w/o congressional approval?

I can't keep up.

[bigtree]

23. maybe

. . . because you're focusing on the politics, rather than on your convictions.
