The “War with Syria” propaganda machine is in full effect this week. From the “not calling this war a war” mantra to the “public opinion is always wrong about war” spin – the bloodlust is filling the airwaves.
Don’t get it twisted, according to the latest poll - 71 percent are against any military action in Syria.
But here’s where we can prevent Iraq 2.0 from happening – putting grassroots pressure on US Senators who have a reputation for liberalism. Some of the faux-gressives, like Al Franken (D-MN) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA), have spent their progressive goodwill on pushing for an attack on Syria.
Some have not…yet! Here’s a list, from CommonDreams, of those Senators viewed as liberals that are the swing votes on Syria:
* Both Massachusetts senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey
* Both Oregon senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley
* Both Colorado senators, Mark Udall and Michael Bennet
* Both Washington senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell
* Ohio senator Sherrod Brown
* Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin
* Rhode Island senator Sheldon Whitehouse
* Hawaii senator Mazie Hirono
* Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar
Don’t let these politicians fool you. MSNBC has a rep for liberalism and they led us into Iraq 10 years ago and want to do the same in Syria now. These Senators need you to put the heat on them or else we will be at permanent war with the entire Middle East.
