Do This TODAY

I still think that the much broader educational effort I outlined here is absolutely critical. As I've said on several occasions since posting that entry, I don't view my suggestions as exactly rocket science. Anyone who genuinely wants to prevent what would be a regional or even a worldwide catastrophe, as well as a war crime on a scale that will place us forever among the ranks of the most monstrous nations in history, and what would also probably be a disaster for our remaining liberties here at home, could probably come up with any number of better ideas in an hour or less.
Still, when particular bills come up that are especially objectionable, and since the amount of time involved per individual is so minimal, these narrower questions need to be addressed, too.
UPDATE: Via Jon Schwarz, here's an email form you can use, too.
[Monday] night, Rep. Pelosi and the Democratic leadership decided to pull language from the Supplemental Appropriations bill which stated that no funds may be authorized for military operations in or related to Iran unless specifically authorized by the Congress.I have the very strong sense that the Democratic leadership has made its decision on this, and nothing will change their minds with regard to this particular bill.
We DO have a chance to reverse this in committee, but we urgently need you to send action alerts to your constituents and make phone calls TODAY.
