Wisconsin's representatives weigh in on Syrian crisis: Lacey Crisp of WTMJ reports: "Members of Congress are getting regular briefings from the President on what's going on in Syria. The images from Syria are hard to look at; men, women and children seriously injured, possibly from sarin gas from their own leader. Rep. Mark Pocan was recently near the Syrian border, 'It's unfortunately a volatile area.' Rep. Gwen Moore said in a statement, 'The atrocious acts President Assad has committed against his people are a direct violation of human rights and a threat to our international peace.'

All Members of Congress agree they are glad they will have a say. 'I want to see what evidence they have that the Assad regime did in fact deploy chemical weapons against its own people,' said Rep. Ron Kind."
