Historians Against War is coordinating with dozens of national organizations that have coalesced this week in order to prevent US military intervention and promote a diplomatic solution in Syria. As you have probably read, there is a tremendous grass-roots mobilization going on across the country

The Obama Administration is urging Congress to act quickly. As of now the Senate is scheduled for a vote early next week and the House of Representative a day or two later.

 

In case you have not seen it, here is the link to the Resolution passed yesterday by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 10-7 vote.
