"A very substantial number of Democrats and Republicans have come out against attacking Syria, and we have begun the process of informing our Democratic colleagues about what their other colleagues are saying," Grayson said and confirmed that he is working with Republicans to halt the authorization push.
"You're going to see Democrats and Republicans lining up against [the military authorization]," he said.
Grayson explained that he didn't "feel at liberty to go into a lot of detail about that at this point" about how he was working across the aisle to stop the authorization, but the congressman from Florida 8th congressional district is well posited to work with his Republicans colleagues in stopping the march to war. In July, Slate reported that Grayson "is now the most effective member of the House", having passed more amendments than any other member. Grayson and his staff "resurrect or mold bills that can appeal to the libertarian streak" of Republicans and then "lobbies his colleagues personally."
