4. We need a mechanism set up where voters can contact the Congress

It should be set up to say something to the effect that we WANT/DO NOT WANT a vote in the Congress and Senate authorizing the President to do take action concerning the ISIS threat.

I wish to contact my representatives in Michigan, but there should there should be an easier quick way for all of us to contact ALL of them..

I would vote that they must put it to a vote whether the President can take action, and what action, ie, boots on the ground, ?

I am worried because I just saw Rep. King say that the President should do something right away because enough time has been wasted, and the Congress could write and ratify the authorization bill later.

I don't trust King to vote FOR the authorization if things go badly in the President's actions, whatever they may be. Too easy to blame it all on President Obama....
