<div align="left" class="gmail-m_827437424922658743content"><p>Dear Robert,<br>
<br>
With the exception of his opposition to isolating Cuba, Rodney Davis hasn't been much of a champion on peace issues, to say the least. However, he has an opportunity now to do something useful that should be easy for him to do: co-sponsor Republican Justin Amash's NDAA amendment prohibiting the transfer of cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia. [1]<br>
<br>
This should be no-brainer because: <br>
<br>
- this amendment almost passed the House a year ago, with 40 Republicans and 164 Democrats voting for it;<br>
- the Saudi war in Yemen has gotten more controversial in Washington since then;<br>
- last year this amendment was led only by Democrats, this year it's bipartisan, with Republican Justin Amash being the lead sponsor;<br>
- Textron, the sole U.S. company that made cluster bombs and which had the Saudi cluster bomb contract, got out of the business last fall, citing Congressional opposition.<br>
<br>
Rodney Davis' co-sponsorship of the Amash amendment would be very useful because the amendment is more likely to get through the Rules Committee the more Republican co-sponsors it has.<br>
<br>
