Dear MoveOn member,
Yesterday,
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee began debating whether to authorize the
use of military force in Syria in response to reports of chemical weapons use
by the Syrian government.1Because this is such a big decision, we asked every MoveOn member to weigh in on whether MoveOn should support or oppose the congressional authorization to use military force in Syria.
The results are in, and they are unequivocal:
73% said MoveOn should oppose the
congressional Authorization to Use Military Force in Syria.
History has shown again and again
that even a "limited" military engagement can quickly become a
slippery slope to seemingly endless war. But stopping this war is within reach.
Consistent polling shows that the
majority of Americans are opposed to this military intervention, and more than
147 members of Congress are on record as firmly opposed to or leaning against
it.2 But mainstream media outlets and many elected officials are
trying hard to make us think that strikes are inevitable.3
So we
need to unleash the power of our more than 8 million member community right
away to make it clear to Congress that we oppose military action in
Syria.
Congress will vote on the authorization to use military force as soon as next
week, and members of Congress are making up their minds right now, so we need
to act fact. Can you call your Senators and Representative right now and tell them to 'Vote No' on the use of military force in Syria? Here are the numbers to call:
