Voices heard: Have a comment on Syria? Now is your chance.

There are more than a few people giving their opinions in the continuing discussion about what to do in Syria.

Some want to see limited military action. Some want to see a campaign with an objective and defined limits and others want no action at all.

And now, there is talk that no matter what Congress says, President Barack Obama might simply go ahead and do what he thinks is right anyway, without congressional approval.

So you might think that perhaps there is no need for you to express your opinion.

Far from it.

Now is the time to review the evidence, read the analysis and think about what you want to see done with your military resources in response to the Syrian chemical attacks.

Your congressmen are listening to the evidence on Capitol Hill, but they also want to know what you think.

This is no time for politics.

Review the evidence carefully and analyze the commentary thoughtfully -- and then vote.

Your opinions really do matter, especially now.
