Dear Mr. President:
I join in condemning the criminal use of chemical weapons in Syria. I support a collective, international response to prosecute the use of such outlawed weapons as war crimes and I join those who have called for accountability for the use of the use these weapons. However, we cannot stop the slaughter of Syrian civilians except by leading the effort to negotiate a political solution to the civil war in Syria. Unilaterial U.S.
U.S. Representative Danny K. Davis (IL07) today joined Representatives Mark Pocan (WI-02), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Keith Ellison (MN-05), Barbara Lee (CA-13), and Henry C. “Hank” Johnson Jr. (GA-04) in the following statement in advance of demonstrations scheduled to take place on Friday within the territory of Gaza. The Members of Congress are urging Gaza protesters to carry out their right to assembly nonviolently, while also calling on members of Israel Defense Forces to exercise utmost restraint in the use of deadly force and to fully comply with international law.

On Wednesday, 83 House Democrats, including Representative Danny K. Davis released a letter they signed to House Leadership in both parties and to Appropriators calling for the Dream Act to be attached to the Omnibus spending bill the House will vote on this week or next. The lawmakers also asked that the government funding bill be free from increased spending on immigrant deportation and detention and free from further border militarization.
