By my count, at least 191 Members of the House of Representatives, including 72 Democrats, have done at least one of the following things in the last few days: 1) signed a letter<http://lee.house.gov/press-release/congresswoman-lee-pens-syria-letter-white-house-calls-congressional-debate> initiated by California Democrat Barbara Lee saying that there must be Congressional debate and vote before war with Syria; 2) signed a letter<http://rigell.house.gov/uploadedfiles/8.29.13_letter_to_potus_with_signatories.pdf> initiated by Virginia Republican Scott Rigell saying that there must be Congressional debate and vote before war with Syria; 3) issued a statement calling for a Congressional debate and vote before war with Syria. I don’t claim that this count is exhaustive. If you know of other examples, please share them in the comments. [Update: there are now 60 signers of the Lee letter, not 54 as currently at the link.]
