Call Our Senators NOW A Vote Is Expected Tomorrow (3/13/19)

Senator Debbie Stabenow: 202-224-4822

Senator Gary Peters: 202-224-6221

Tell Them:  Vote YES on a Bi-partisan Resolution to end U.S. military support for this brutal war in Yemen

BACKGROUND

According to the United Nations, a Saudi led coalition’s bombardment and blockade of food is the leading cause of civilian casualties.  It’s a proxy war in Yemen with Sunni Saudi Arabia opposing Shiite Houthie rebels supported by Iran.  Half the country’s population is on the brink of starvation.   For an update on the  cruel war in Yemen, click   https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/02/1032811

The U.S. has a vast amount of leverage to stop the killing, starting by cutting off military support for this unconscionable war. 

In addition to supporting  the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis, the Trump administration involvement in the Yemen war violates the War Powers Act.   Congress has never authorized use of U.S. military force in Yemen, making this war unconstitutional.   It appears the Trump administration values arms sales to the Saudi’s  more than it values human life.  Human life must come before profit. 

The Resolution, which already was passed in the House, has bi-partisan support — but it could be a close vote.  

NOW WE CAN DO THIS!

CALL YOUR SENATORS — Tell Them: The Saudi led war in Yemen is making worse the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis with 22 million people in need of assistance; Congress has the power to end the illegal U.S. involvement in this civil war by enforcing the War Powers Act; Please vote for S. J. Resolution 7 to end U.S. support for the Saudi war in Yemen.
