But more than a dozen other senators widely viewed as liberal or progressive have held back from committing themselves on how they’ll vote. Here’s a partial list of those equivocators:

* Both Massachusetts senators, Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey

* Both Oregon senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley

* Both Colorado senators, Mark Udall and Michael Bennet

* Both Washington senators, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell

* Ohio senator Sherrod Brown

* Wisconsin senator Tammy Baldwin

* Rhode Island senator Sheldon Whitehouse

* Hawaii senator Mazie Hirono

* Minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar

If you live in one of those states, or anywhere else in the USA for that matter, you can send a quick email to your senators and representative to tell them “No Attack on Syria” by clicking here.

Perhaps no “undecided” stance from senators is more egregious than the one from Wisconsin’s Tammy Baldwin, who won a hard-fought race that elevated her from the House of Representatives last year on the strength of major progressive support.
