This resolution needs a push from the American people. Do your part.

Send your Senator an email from this link:

THEN, give them a call via the Capital Hill switchboard. Here is the number: 202 - 224 - 3121, and let them know that you want them to support Senate Resolution #356. It's that simple.

[RPTXState]

does it include stuff about a "Congressional Deceleration of War"?

[Taco John]

Maybe not those exact words, but it definitely requires congress to approve any action.

Am I searching this incorrectly or do you have the wrong resolution number?

Hey Taco John! I haven't seen you around in a long time.

Your interview on Fox Business is still one of my favorite grass roots moments:
Part 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-1RgaQTapdg
Part 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0lso3Kc5h_U

Definitely a must-watch for those that haven't seen it.
