Call your Senators today to express your opposition to S. Res. 65, the AIPAC/Lindsay Graham bill that tries to "pre-approve" US participation in an Israeli attack on Iran and tries to move the "red line" for war from "preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon" to "preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapons capability"—whatever that means.
Here's what you do:

Call the Capital Switchboard at 202-225-3121.
Ask to be connected to your Senator's office.
When you are connected to your Senator's office:
If your Senator hasn't co-sponsored the bill, thank them for staying off, and urge them to resist pressure to sign the bill, noting that the bill
tries to "pre-approve" US participation in an Israeli attack on Iran; and
tries to move up the "red line" for war
Urge them to press that the bill go through committee-mark up.
If your Senator has co-sponsored the bill, express your disappointment with their position, noting that the bill
tries to "pre-approve" US participation in an Israeli attack on Iran; and
tries to move up the "red line" for war
Urge them to counterbalance their action by publicly affirming support for diplomacy, and by insisting that the bill go to committee mark-up so concerns about it can be addressed.
