------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The Obama administration held another round of secret briefings Thursday
for U.S. lawmakers who are set to vote on whether to back strikes on
Syria. Many say their constituents are overwhelmingly opposed to
military action. Democratic Rep. Peter De Fazio of Oregon tweeted
Thursday: "Tally from constituents calling my office, emailing, and
writing about #Syria: 1135 opposed to U.S. action, 18 for."
