Thanks for the question. I was unaware that you couldn't
until I looked just now. <br>
<br>
<br>
This is on Google Sites. I can authorize specific people to
edit, but the obvious place to control access does not have a
separate option for comments. That surprises me, because I thought
it had that feature. <br>
<br>
<br>
Do I need to pay Google for that feature? <br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks, <br>

Thanks, John, for this. <br>

Zoe may be officially undecided, but she
signed two different letters reminding Obama that he
does NOT have the authority to attack Syria without
explicit authorization from Congress. One of these
letters states essentially that the decision to use
force in Libya was unconstitutional. Reading
between the lines, this suggests to me (and I hope
to Obama) that if he goes into Syria and it turns
into a mess (which it most likely will), he could
convince enough Democrats to join with most
Republicans to approve articles of Impeachment in
the House and convict in the Senate; see "<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://lofgren.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=825:zoe-on-the-crisis-in-syria-the-us-constitution-and-the-war-powers-resolution&catid=41:of-note-content&Itemid=160">http://lofgren.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=825:zoe-on-the-crisis-in-syria-the-us-constitution-and-the-war-powers-resolution&catid=41:of-note-content&Itemid=160</a>".
<br>
<br>
<br>
I agree that protesting and lobbying Zoe and
other members of the House and Senate is wise.
Boxer and Feinstein have both stated support for
intervention. A recent poll indicated 56% opposed,
19% for with 25% undecided (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/03/us-syria-crisis-usa-idUSBRE97T0NB20130903">http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/03/us-syria-crisis-usa-idUSBRE97T0NB20130903</a>).
Boxer and Feinstein should know that if US
involvement in Syria produces seriously negative
results, it could be trouble for them. <br>
<br>

Best Wishes, <br>

<div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:24px;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;">There
will be a protest against the impending US war
against Syria in front of Zoe Lofgren's office
this Thursday September 5, 2013 from 4PM-5PM.
The office is located at 635 N 1st Street, San
Jose, CA. Zoe Lofgren is undecided on how to
vote on the war resolution concerning Syria,
though she sympathizes with Sam Farr who is
going to vote against it. We need to show her
that we are serious. Thank you.</div>
