“Federal lawmakers who plan to vote in favor of a U.S. military strike against Syria ‘might as well start cleaning out’ their office, U.S. Rep. Justin Amash said Thursday. Amash, R-Cascade Township, tweeted that the ‘unprecedented level of public opposition’ to military intervention in the country should beg for dissenting votes. Amash garnered national attention for hosting 11 town hall meetings this week to gauge opinion on President Barack Obama’s request for Congress to approve a Syria strike. The sophomore lawmaker, whose mother was born in Syria, estimated 95 percent of those who turned out at meetings throughout his district were opposed to intervention.”
