Hello Patriots!  It is time to once again have our voices heard with those we've elected to represent us in the nations capital.  We are all aware of the very serious nature related to any strike on Syria. The ripple effect could prove to be beyond anything we could imagine and while we face many issues that must be addressed this one is of the utmost importance. No one should sit on the sidelines waiting to see who wins the game. There will not be a winner.

Please act now.

EMAIL AND/OR CALL

Sample emails to all US House and Senators are provided below as well as telephone numbers. Please make your contact over the next several days. Feel free to copy and paste one or all of the sample emails provided below. Or, create your own.

Sample letter #1:

Dear (Senator or Congressman)

Please oppose any and all involvement of the US and the US military in Syria. It is doubtful that American involvement will deter future chemical attacks but US involvement would result in another ineffective resolution. The Congress has shamefully allowed this Administration to make cut to the US defense to the point that is questionable if we can even defend our own soil. The President’s plan to strike or punish Syria is an example of the Administrations lack of knowledge and experience in trying to create a foreign policy where there is none. The President has consistently maintained that he could negotiate conflicts to a peaceful settlement and he should be sent to do so in Syria.

Respectfully,

KrisAnne has published an open letter to send to our representatives/senators in Congress. I hope that you will do just that if you agree with her. Please feel free to share it with your friends, family and fellow tea party patriots.

Sample letter #2:

Dear (Senator, Congressman),

As you are pressed to consider launching an attack on the Syrian people and their government I would hope you would consider the following facts.
Our Constitution was created to limit the federal government in its power and authority. The mission statement of the Constitution is contained in the preamble:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.(emphasis mine)

The purpose of our Constitution is to “secure the Blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” With that prime directive in mind, it is incumbent upon the federal government to “provide for the common defense.” I would like to draw your attention the word “defense”. This does not authorize the federal government to engage in offensive actions. It is a requirement to defend the Blessings of liberty. This essential principle is further illustrated in a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry Philadelphia, Jan. 26, 1799:

“I am for relying, for internal defence (sic), on our militia solely, till actual invasion, and for such a naval force only as may protect our coasts and harbors from such depredations as we have experienced; and not for a standing army in time of peace, which may overawe the public sentiment; nor for a navy, which, by its own expenses and the eternal wars in which it will implicate us, will grind us with public burdens, & sink us under them. And I am not for linking ourselves by new treaties with the quarrels of Europe; entering that field of slaughter to preserve their balance….”

What the president is asking you to do is not only contrary to Constitutional principles; it is in violation of federal law. Section 7008 of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Act, 2012 (division I of Public Law 112–74; 125 Stat. 1195), declares the United States is legally prohibited from providing foreign assistance to any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by a military coup d’´etat, or removed in such a way that the military plays a decisive role. What is going on in Syria is a coup in progress. We have no authority provide aid in the overthrow of Syria’s government.

Finally, the assertion made by the president that the use of chemical weapons precipitates a necessity for us to become involved in this is “quarrel”. This issue is not settled however. Although we are being told that chemical weapons where the cause of death of 1,400, the parties responsible for that action cannot be so clearly defined. Several international news sources are now reporting that the “rebels” too have chemical weapons supplied to them by the Saudi Prince Bandar. These reports even indicate that this particular incident was a result of an accidental mishandling of these chemical weapons by the “rebels”. Additionally, many sources are exposing the fact that the “rebels” are not Syrians at all, but Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood forces attempting to overthrow the Syrian government to establish themselves as that governmental power.

Congressman, there are some very serious unanswered questions that MUST be answered before we engage in an action that could have global military implications. (Russia has made their stance very clear)Please consider the following:
1. What is the “common defense” need for action in Syria? Simply claiming “national security” or “war on terror” is not sufficient to satisfy the standard established by the framers to justify US military action.
2. How do we justify not only violating the Constitution, but also federal law by aiding a country that is clearly in a military overthrow of power where military force will play a decisive role?
3. Considering the great human rights violations going on in this world, in other countries (e.g. Slaughter in Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Sierra Leone, Mali, China, Philippines, Russia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya, North Korea, or 1.2 million children enslave in human trafficking every year) how do we justify involving US military forces in a conflict between two factions who are not supporters of Western Liberty, are not trying to establish Liberty with a justified revolution, but simply killing each other in the name of political power and where we will inevitably team up with Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood to start a potential massive global conflict?

These are very serious concerns that are not answered and may I submit, cannot be answered with the information being provided by the president. The first object of my heart is my own country. In that is embarked my family, my fortune, & my own existence. I have neither one minute of interest, nor one fiber of attachment out of it, nor a single motive of preference of any one nation to another, but in proportion as they are more or less friendly to us. All I ask for my representative to have this same dedication to our country first, to our citizens first, to Liberty First!

The honest truth and unavoidable reality is this; you bear a great responsibility in this decision, perhaps one greater than you have considered. You must recognize that generations will be the sharers of this one decision. You cannot make the wrong decision if you remain loyal to the foundations that made this nation great. Do not make this decision out of fear, or a preference for national security. Do not make this decision out of political avarice. Do not make this decision based upon less than complete evidence. You must make this decision with clarity of mind and with evidence beyond every doubt. To do otherwise will be a negligent act perpetrated upon future generations.

Thank you for your time and consideration of these concerns. May God be with you as you do the right thing.

Sincerely,

The Following letter may be used as well and can be sent to both Senators and Representatives. Email information is provided below. Please add date. Be sure to change Senator to Representative as appropriate.

Sample letter #3:

September , 2013

Dear Senator:

I am writing to voice my opposition to the United States intervention in Syria. My opposition is based on the following:

1. I do not believe credible evidence has been presented that the chemical weapons attack on the Syrian people was carried out by the Assad regime as a story has surfaced that the rebels have taken responsibility for this due to mishandling said chemical weapons.

2. I do not believe the United States has the right to intervene in the civil war occurring inside Syria.

3. I do not believe Syria presents an eminent threat to the United States.

4. I do not believe our military should be involved in yet another quagmire in the Middle East.

5. I do not believe we can bear the expense of yet another military action as our Country is currently over $16 trillion in debt.

6. I do believe this proposed strike on Syria is eerily reminiscent of the false representation used in 1995 to attack Sarajevo.

7. I do believe, as stated by Benjamin Harrison, "We Americans have no commission from God to police the world".

A recent Washington Post-ABC poll shows almost 70% of the American people are vehemently opposed to the missile strike on Syria. We, your undersigned constituents, are part of that 70%.

I demand your NO vote on authorizing United States intervention in Syria.

Respectfully,
