7. Our President needs to hear from us.

Lets not let President Obama down by being too shy or too embarrassed to tell him how we feel. He may think he has to attack or we will lose our respect for him. We have to let him know we will still support him, and we want him to do what is right, even if that means waiting, even if that means taking back a threat to attack.

Tell the President we do not want war with Syria, or with anyone else in the Middle East.
