Join VoteVets and tell Congress to vote NO on Syrian military intervention
VoteVets Action Fund
I am proud to stand with tens of thousands of veterans, military family members and VoteVets.org supporters in urging you to vote against military intervention in Syria.
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff previously warned against this kind of action, because it only leads to deeper involvement in the conflict.

Please vote NO on Syrian military intervention.

"The loss of Assad's air force would negate his ability to attack opposition forces from the air, but it would also escalate and potentially further commit the United States to the conflict. Stated another way, it would not be militarily decisive, but it would commit us decisively to the conflict…"
Stand with the veterans and military family members who oppose Syrian intervention and we'll share your thoughts with leaders in Congress before they vote.
