I'm writing to tell you how Congress has responded. In the last few days, 162 Members of the House, including 64 Democrats, have publicly called for a debate and vote before any U.S. military strike.
I wrote up the news here:

As I write this, press reports are saying that a strike is still imminent, and that President Obama still has not agreed to allow a Congressional debate and vote before a strike.
It's important to get the news out that 162 Members of the House, including 64 Democrats, are on record saying that there should be a Congressional debate and vote before any U.S. military strike on Syria.
