Letter to my Senators and Representative in the US Congress

Please oppose the president's new authorization for force against the
Islamic State AND repeal the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military
Force.

Military strikes against the Islamic State are bad policy. Answering
violence with violence will only continue the cycle, not lead to peace.

I understand that there will be a robust debate on the president's request
for a new authorization for force. I hope we can agree that the virtually
unlimited authorization given by Congress in 2001 gives away important
congressional oversight of where, when and how our country goes to war.
Unless this authorization is repealed, any restrictions on a new
authorization will have no practical effect.

Thank you for your consideration.
