Syria

Feel free to use these words (sent today) and send to Congressman Courtney YOUR email at the link below. We need to get this done today....you never know when the vote is going to be taken and if Joe hasn't heard YOUR voice, this is your last chance. Last week he claims to not support, but you never know what kind of shenanigans are going on in DC:

Please vote "NO" on any proposal to punish Syria for acts not committed on American citizens/property. I do not support any "minimal" intervention or "boots on the ground" in response to a chemical weapon attack, one which cannot be completely vetted as to which faction was behind it. The reality of which fighting group will benefit from our intervention is a major concern; we may eventually be supporting the wrong group, once again.

Our fiscal condition is not healthy. Our troops are being denied quality care upon return from current conflicts; why would any unintended military participation see a different response to our vets in the future? While we are all concerned with supporting our President when he makes statements, we should be conscious of the reality that the other players in this conflict may use our actions as a reason to escalate this conflict into a full-blown war.

I understand the pressure of party politics, but it is my hope you will resist and vote NO.
