Though I wasn't able to fit this on two sides of a single page
flyer, it did fit on one side of a full sheet.<br>
<br>
I've printed a bunch of these and will bring them. Karen M. is
making some new signs and so am I.<br>

Attached is a copy of the flyer. It draws on things that Bob
Naiman has written or shared in the recent past. Mr. Naiman, thank
you.<br>

Karen and I suggest that this demo be a call for
the US to end its support for the war on Yemen and
to insist that Saudi Arabia and the UAE likewise
cease their participation.<br>
<br>
Just Foreign Policy and others have been urging us
to call our Senators, and now also our US Rep., to
support War Powers Resolution bills which would
require a full-up Congressional vote on use of US
military force there:<br>

Karen and/or Stuart will aim to make one - that at
least urges people to call our Senators and Rep.
Davis. Davis won't likely listen, but he may be
uneasy about losing his seat, so who knows.<br>
