<div class="">A coalition of groups will be protesting Obama at the U of I, on Friday. There are various reasons to protest his presence there.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1) The U of I giving an award for ethics in government to a President that advanced the Bush wars from two to eight, any one of which can be a focus.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2) His bail out of the Bankers, etc.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We wish to keep this “firm and dignified” a quote by one, maybe he meant “formal and dignified.”</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You and anyone else is welcome to join, urging Obama to end the US - Saudi war in Yemen is worthwhile.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">You are welcome to speak as well.</div>

<div class="">Obama is coming to the U of I next week. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Should we have a protest, urging him to call for ending the U.S.-Saudi war in Yemen - which he started? </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It's not inconceivable that he would do it. Other former Obama Administration officials, including former UN ambassador Samantha Power, have acknowledged that the Obama Administration was wrong to back the Saudi war in Yemen and have called for
the war to end. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If Obama is protested at the U of I over the Yemen war, it could be national news.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Should we do it? </div>
