</div>
<p>Last night the House Rules Committee approved two amendments for votes today that <b>fundamentally challenge U.S. participation in the Saudi war in Yemen</b>. [1]<br>
<br>
The <b>Davidson</b> [R-OH] amendment <b>prohibits U.S. military action not authorized by the 2001 AUMF</b>. U.S. participation in the Saudi war in Yemen is <b>not authorized</b> by the 2001 AUMF. That would <b>block the U.S. refueling of Saudi warplanes bombing Yemen</b>. <br>
<br>
The <b>Nolan</b> [D-MN] amendment <b>prohibits the deployment of U.S. troops to participation in Yemen's civil war</b>. That would <b>block the U.S. refueling of Saudi warplanes bombing Yemen</b>. <br>
<br>
This devastating war, which was <b>never authorized by Congress</b>, has been going on for more than two years and has pushed Yemen to the brink of famine, with the worst cholera outbreak in the world, with the UN on the verge of giving up on vaccination against cholera in Yemen because of the war. <br>
<br>
<b>We've never had votes like this before in either chamber.</b> We have no idea how it will go. <b>Every Rep. needs to be called</b>, whether they are Democrat or Republican, pro-Trump or anti-Trump. <br>
<br>
<b>Call Rodney Davis now at </b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12px"><b>202-225-2371.</b></span> When you reach a staffer or leave a message, you can say something like:</p>
<blockquote><b>"I urge you to vote YES on the Davidson and Nolan amendments to prohibit U.S. participation in the unauthorized Saudi war in Yemen."</b></blockquote>
<p>When you've made your call, please report it <b><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?key=-1&url_num=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justforeignpolicy.org%2Fact%2Fcall-in-davidson-nolan-ndaa-yemen-amdts" target="_blank">here</a></b>. <br>

<b>Please forward this note to any contacts who might take action.</b><br>
