Participants in Washington, D.C., will visit the Capitol Hill offices of the same congress members.  Gather at 10 a.m. at the Independence Avenue entrance to the Rayburn House Office Building. 

Brownbaggers are asking members of the House to publicly commit to voting No on any bills that fund wars.  Results are tracked at http://defundwar.org
