REMAIN UNTIL CONGRESS VOTES ON WAR POWERS

Hours from now, a historic bill will be voted on in Congress which will shift war powers from the Congress to the Executive Branch, giving the president "authorization to use Armed Forces of the US as he determines necessary". Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, for the war or against, too much is at stake for this nation to transfer war powers from Congress to a single person. What can you do?

It is important to activate the nation in the hours remaining. Once this upcoming vote has been passed, our civil and legislative input on this conflict will be vastly muted. As the hours slip past, many of our nations leaders are finding the bravery to voice their concerns despite the short term concerns of the impending elections. It is up to you to recognize this as a critical moment in our nation's history and act now. Our best defense is to FILIBUSTER (measure used in Senate to delay a vote) in hopes to give this pivotal bill the debate it deserves. The press states that the President has urged Congress to pass this bill with out delay despite the building public outcry now overwhelming Senate offices. Headlines report the vote will pass overwhelmingly...but there are many brave Senators whom this coverage fails to account for. Senator Byrd has not released information on filibuster coalition though this possibility seems active. We still have a few hours to wake Congress up!
