<span class=""><br class="">
Tomorrow afternoon this event is happening in Champaign:<br class="">
<br class="">
IL - 13 Listening Session: Champaign-Urbana<br class="">
Public · Hosted by Carol Ammons<br class="">
<br class="">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1855909114660297/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">https://www.facebook.com/event<wbr class="">s/1855909114660297/</a><br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
Yesterday I asked Rodney Davis to oppose Trump's Saudi arms deal. I<br class="">
presented the IL-13 signers on our petition<br class="">
</span><<a href="https://petitions.moveon.org/sign/congress-vote-no-on-trumps?r_by=1135580" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">https://petitions.moveon.org/<wbr class="">sign/congress-vote-no-on-trump<wbr class="">s?r_by=1135580</a>>,<br class="">
<div class=""><div class="m_-5649228911955443116m_4489259772253996924h5">and asked him to cosponsor the bipartisan Amash-Pocan resolution against<br class="">
the Saudi arms deal. Rodney Davis said he would speak with Amash and the<br class="">
other Republican sponsors and get back to me.<br class="">
<br class="">
Now Carol is asking: "What do you want your Representative in Congress to<br class="">
do?" I figure that's an easy question for me to answer. I want my<br class="">
Representative in Congress to oppose the Saudi arms deal.<br class="">
<br class="">
So, I figure, why not take Carol the same petition I took Rodney, and make<br class="">
the same ask?<br class="">
<br class="">
I figure: if Carol opposes the Saudi arms deal and challenges Rodney to do<br class="">
the same, it's win-win. Either Rodney agrees, in which case I win, or<br class="">
Rodney doesn't agree, in which case it's a public issue and the<br class="">
News-Gazette has to report on it and Rodney gets in trouble, in which case<br class="">
I also win.<br class="">
<br class="">
Is it plausible that Rodney, feeling a little heat, would agree to<br class="">
co-sponsor the Amash resolution?<br class="">
<br class="">
Last September, then-Illinois Senator Mark Kirk was one of only four Senate<br class="">
Republicans to vote against the Saudi tank deal. The other 23 no votes were<br class="">
Democrats. Mark Kirk had not previously been known as a critic of Saudi<br class="">
Arabia or its "particularly aggressive" war in Yemen, as the Vatican puts<br class="">
it.<br class="">
<br class="">
What made Mark Kirk flip? Tammy Duckworth was breathing down his neck,<br class="">
putting out a press release every time he didn't say "excuse me" after<br class="">
burping.<br class="">
<br class="">
Could we do that to Rodney Davis? Could we flip him with some pressure? If<br class="">
not, why not?<br class="">
<br class="">
I'll print out the petitions again around noon tomorrow. So there's still<br class="">
time to sign.<br class="">
<br class="">
Sign the petition: Congress: Vote NO on Trump's Saudi Arms Deal<br class="">
