With citizen calls to Congress reportedly 499-to-1 against a strike in Syria, Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich) warned fellow lawmakers that they will likely be kicked out of office if they go against intense public opposition.
“If you’re voting yes on military action in #Syria, might as well start cleaning out your office,” Amash tweeted Thursday. “Unprecedented level of public opposition.”

The libertarian leaning congressman went on to say that “voting yes would be devastating”:
On #Syria vote, sound public policy (no war) is firmly aligned w/incredibly lopsided & intense public will. Voting yes would be devastating.

Amash finished his day of tweets calling for Democrats and Republicans to listen to the American people and come together to stop Obama’s push for war.
…Ds & Rs came together to fight #NSA overreach. Americans are now counting on us to speak for them on #Syria. We’ll stop this together.
