No one protects their lives and property. They are totally abandoned to their fates. Their houses and cars can be torched, their fields set on fire. It?s all right to shoot them mercilessly, killing old people and babies, with no defense forces at their side. No police, no military: no one...Read more Israeli forces shoot out child?s eye, abduct & kill people, etc Recent news reports from the Palestinian Occupied TerritoriesRead more | | | | | | | | SEND TO A FRIEND | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IsraelPalestineNews.org???IfAmericansKnew.org contact at ifamericansknew.org???202-631-4060? ? | | | | DONATE | | | | If?Americans?Knew?is?a?501(c)3?tax-exempt?organization.

In particular: if we could get *one* Republican co-sponsor on this amendment, the amendment would become "bipartisan." That would likely help us significantly in the Rules Committee to get a floor vote. Remember: 40 Republicans voted with us in June 2016 on the Lieu-Conyers amendment to bar the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia. Here are the 40 Republicans who voted yes. Burgess and Massie are on the Rules Committee now . Amash, Blum, Brooks (AL), *Burgess*, Clawson (FL), Cramer, Davidson, Dent, Duncan (TN), Garrett, Gibson, Gohmert, Gosar, Grothman, Huelskamp, Issa, Jones, Jordan, Knight, Labrador, LoBiondo, Lummis, *Massie*, McClintock, McKinley, Meadows, Mulvaney, Palmer, Pitts, Poe (TX), Posey, Roe (TN), Rohrabacher, Rooney (FL), Schweikert, Sensenbrenner, Smith (NJ), Stutzman, Walker, Yoho. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Marcy Winograd Date: Fri, Jul 7, 2023 at 8:47?AM Subject: [CODEPINKCONGRESS] Pls ask your House rep to co-sponsor the NDAA amendment banning cluster bombs. Here's a link to the amendment. Dear CODEPINK Congress: House reps Sara Jacobs (D-San Diego) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) have introduced an amendment to the NDAA or military budget to ban the use and export license for cluster munitions (see photo attachment). *Please call your House rep (202-224-3121) and email, too, urging your rep to co-sponsor this amendment and vote for it* *when it reaches the floor soon.* CODEPINK sent out an alert this morning to mobilize opposition to sending these internationally-banned weapons, each one containing hundreds if not thousands of shiny bomblets that often fail to explode until years later when a child picks up a bomblet thinking it's a toy, only to have a limb blown off. Please click on this alert. This morning the Washington Post reported the White House will send Ukraine cluster munitions, bypassing US law prohibiting the shipment of cluster bombs with a failure to detonate rate of more than 1 percent. More than 120 countries, according to the Post, have signed the UN Convention on Cluster Munitions to outlaw their use.

There has been a bipartisan vote in the House. There has been no vote in the Senate. 2. The Senate has different tools than the House. For example: a Joint Resolution of Disapproval pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act of 1976 is privileged in the Senate, not in the House. A human rights report demand pursuant to Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act is privileged in the Senate, not in the House. A *joint* War Powers Resolution is privileged in the Senate, not in the House. 3. We have the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as a Validator. How often is that true? It's like a meteor shower that comes to visit us once every seven years. Let's make the most of it. https://www.usccb.org/news/2023/us-bishops-international-justice-and-peace-chairman-cluster-munitions-ukraine https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254804/bishop-expresses-moral-concern-over-us-provision-of-cluster-munitions-to-ukraine -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
