Tomorrow afternoon this event is happening in Champaign:<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
IL - 13 Listening Session: Champaign-Urbana<br clear="none">
Public · Hosted by Carol Ammons<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1855909114660297/">https://www.facebook.com/event s/1855909114660297/</a><br clear="none">

Yesterday I asked Rodney Davis to oppose Trump's Saudi arms deal. I<br clear="none">
presented the IL-13 signers on our petition<br clear="none">
</span><<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://petitions.moveon.org/sign/congress-vote-no-on-trumps?r_by=1135580">https://petitions.moveon.org/ sign/congress-vote-no-on-trump s?r_by=1135580</a>>,<br clear="none">
<div><div class="yiv7579454161m_-5649228911955443116m_4489259772253996924h5">and asked him to cosponsor the bipartisan Amash-Pocan resolution against<br clear="none">
the Saudi arms deal. Rodney Davis said he would speak with Amash and the<br clear="none">
other Republican sponsors and get back to me.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Now Carol is asking: "What do you want your Representative in Congress to<br clear="none">
do?" I figure that's an easy question for me to answer. I want my<br clear="none">
Representative in Congress to oppose the Saudi arms deal.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
So, I figure, why not take Carol the same petition I took Rodney, and make<br clear="none">
the same ask?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I figure: if Carol opposes the Saudi arms deal and challenges Rodney to do<br clear="none">
the same, it's win-win. Either Rodney agrees, in which case I win, or<br clear="none">
Rodney doesn't agree, in which case it's a public issue and the<br clear="none">
News-Gazette has to report on it and Rodney gets in trouble, in which case<br clear="none">
I also win.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Is it plausible that Rodney, feeling a little heat, would agree to<br clear="none">
co-sponsor the Amash resolution?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Last September, then-Illinois Senator Mark Kirk was one of only four Senate<br clear="none">
Republicans to vote against the Saudi tank deal. The other 23 no votes were<br clear="none">
Democrats. Mark Kirk had not previously been known as a critic of Saudi<br clear="none">
Arabia or its "particularly aggressive" war in Yemen, as the Vatican puts<br clear="none">
it.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
What made Mark Kirk flip? Tammy Duckworth was breathing down his neck,<br clear="none">
putting out a press release every time he didn't say "excuse me" after<br clear="none">
burping.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Could we do that to Rodney Davis? Could we flip him with some pressure? If<br clear="none">
not, why not?<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I'll print out the petitions again around noon tomorrow. So there's still<br clear="none">
time to sign.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Sign the petition: Congress: Vote NO on Trump's Saudi Arms Deal<br clear="none">
