We talked about this at tonight's AWARE meeting. AWARE members and
supporters, here are two specific things to do this week:<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
Follow <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://justforeignpolicy.com/">Just Foreign Policy's </a>advice
-- see below. Urge Jeanne Shaheen and Todd Young to withdraw
their own bill and allow the <b>Sanders/Lee/Murphy</b> bill,
ending US support for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen, to be voted
on. Shaheen and Young's bill would leave a giant loophole - it
would allow US support for that war to continue.<br>
<br>
Urge our<b> Senator Tammy Duckworth</b> to publicly support the
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/senate-joint-resolution/54">Sanders/Lee/Murphy
bill, </a>too. Sen. Durbin already has done so (explains Don
McClure), but Duckworth hasn't taken a position, as far as we've
heard.<br>

<p>We expect a roll call floor vote soon in the Senate on
the <b>Sanders-Lee-Murphy</b> bill [SJRes54] to end U.S.
participation in the catastrophic Saudi war in Yemen. <b>Ending
U.S. participation will end the war</b>, and <b>save
millions of Yemenis</b> now living on the brink of
famine as a <b>direct and deliberate</b> result of the <b>U.S.-backed
Saudi war</b> and the <b>U.S.-backed Saudi blockade</b>
of food, medicine, and fuel from entering Yemen.<br>
<br>
<b>But now come the Washington dirty tricks</b> to try to
protect the Saudi princes and allow their war crimes in
Yemen to continue. <b>Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen
of New Hampshire</b> and <b>Republican Senator Todd
Young of Indiana</b> are conspiring with Republican
leader Mitch McConnell to sabotage the vote on the
Sanders-Lee-Murphy bill. They are threatening to try to
substitute another bill that would <b>allow U.S.
participation in the war to continue</b> <i>in place of</i>
the Sanders-Lee-Murphy bill to end the war. </p>
<p>The Young-Shaheen bill would allow U.S. participation in
Saudi Arabia's war to continue if Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson certifies to Congress that the Government of
Saudi Arabia is undertaking "(1) an urgent and good faith
effort to conduct diplomatic negotiations to end the civil
war in Yemen; and (2) appropriate measures to alleviate
the humanitarian crisis in Yemen by increasing access for
all Yemenis to food, fuel, and medicine."<br>
<br>
<b>Rex Tillerson works for Donald Trump</b>. Donald Trump
is "<i>tizein bilbass</i>" with Saudi dictator Mohammed
bin Salman - "two butts in the same pair of underwear," as
the Arabic saying goes. <b>Mohammed bin Salman is the
chief architect of the Saudi war in Yemen</b>. Donald
Trump's employee Rex Tillerson will make the Young-Shaheen
certification faster than you can say, "Saudi oil money" -
<b><i>even if the Saudi government doesn't do a single
thing differently in the future than they have in the
past</i></b>. <br>
<br>
A vote for the Young-Shaheen bill would be a vote to <i><b>continue
U.S. participation in the Saudi war in Yemen for
another year exactly as it is today</b></i>. A vote
for the Young-Shaheen bill would be a vote to <i><b>continue
starving Yemeni children to death for another year
exactly as they are being starved to death today</b></i>. </p>
<p><b>Press Jeanne Shaheen and Todd Young to withdraw their
bill and withdraw their threat to sabotage our vote - so
that Yemeni children may live - by <a
