Do you want your representative to vote Yes or No on the resolution authorizing force vs Syria?

Most worthless, cowardly, money-grubbing, do nothing Congress ever

They're not accustomed to responding to anyone but a lobbyist

It used to be some didn't believe the Assad regime did it, now they've retreated to simply not doing anything about it.

And then vote intelligently. Which from where I sit, without that briefing, would be a resounding "Hell no".

But since my representative is a republican who knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that I will never vote for his misogynistic, corporate-whore, earth-raping ass, it really doesn't matter what I want him to do. In fact I am sure whenever I contact his office, it goes in the "do the exact opposite or you will piss off your base" pile.
