Dear margaret jeanne,

Please call on your House representative to vote Yes on H.Con.Res.21, which
requires withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Syria with 180 days.

The vote on this War Powers resolution is expected on Wednesday.

U.S. troops occupy Syria's east, including its oil field and prime
agricultural area.  They are there without the permission of the Syrian
authorities.

After a 10 year civil war and two devastating earthquakes, Syria faces
extreme humanitarian need.  It does not need foreign troops occupying its
country.   It needs time to rebuild.

Please call on Congress to *vote to withdraw US forces today!

against Syria.

Sanctions only exact cruelty and punishment on the people in Syria – and in
other countries around the world. Congress must permanently repeal
sanctions legislation so that all humanitarian aid can reach suffering
Syrians without restrictions.
*Tell Congress: Repeal Sanctions Legislation on Syria!*

U.S. regime change efforts in Syria have clearly failed.  US occupation
forces and continued sanctions serve no purpose other than punishing
millions of Syrians for having a government which the U.S. disapproves.

The Syrian people are counting on us,
