<p>Dear Robert,<br>
<br>
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8mCd9ar57xeGAggmEfhcCy4xF9jRA3yQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpetitions.moveon.org%2Fsign%2Fstandwithchrisrand-set%3Fsource%3Dc.em%26r_by%3D1135580" target="_blank">have introduced legislation</a> to prevent the U.S. from continuing to support Saudi-led military campaigns in places like Yemen where Saudi Arabia’s year-long campaign has led to a <b>devastating humanitarian crisis</b> and a <b>security vacuum that has empowered our terrorist enemies</b> al Qaeda and ISIS. The Murphy-Paul bipartisan legislation will require the President to formally certify that the government of Saudi Arabia is demonstrating an ongoing effort to <b>target terrorist groups</b>, <b>minimize harm to civilians</b>, and <b>facilitate humanitarian assistance</b> before Congress can consider the sale or transfer of air-to-ground munitions to Saudi Arabia.<br>
<br>
<b>Urge Sen. Dick Durbin to co-sponsor the Murphy-Paul bill by calling their office now at <a href="tel:%28202%29%20224-2152" value="+12022242152" target="_blank">(202) 224-2152</a>. When you reach a staffer, you can say something like:</b></p>
<blockquote>"The civil war we’ve supplied in Yemen is prolonging human suffering in Yemen and aiding groups that are intent on attacking us. I urge you to support the Murphy-Paul bill to place new conditions on U.S. military aid to Saudi Arabia."</blockquote>
<p>When you've made your call, <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=dL7b3JIAlsfJbXnySUGEuy4xF9jRA3yQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justforeignpolicy.org%2Fact%2Fmurphy-paul-conditions-saudi-arms-sales" target="_blank"><b>please report it here.</b></a><br>
<br>
<b>And if you haven't signed our petition at MoveOn yet, <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=u%2B1S%2Fst89dvlmm9AZnMVHi4xF9jRA3yQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpetitions.moveon.org%2Fsign%2Fstandwithchrisrand-set%3Fsource%3Dc.em%26r_by%3D1135580" target="_blank">you can do that here.</a></b><br>
