The deep-pocketed conservative advocacy group Heritage Action formally came out Wednesday morning against authorizing a military strike on Syria.

“Heritage Action is opposed to punitive missile strikes on the Syrian regime. Yesterday’s hearing made it clear there is not a vital U.S. interest at stake,” said Heritage Action spokesman Dan Holler. “Further, there is not a clear, achievable, realistic purpose to the use of force being contemplated by the Obama administration and officials offered little evidence such action would prevent further abuses.”

Holler told TPM the group has not decided if it will score the vote.
