Dear Robert,

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) have introduced
legislation
<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>
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 *devastating
humanitarian crisis* and a *security vacuum that has empowered our
terrorist enemies* 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 *target
terrorist groups*, *minimize harm to civilians*, and *facilitate
humanitarian assistance* before Congress can consider the sale or transfer
of air-to-ground munitions to Saudi Arabia.

*Urge Sen. Dick Durbin to co-sponsor the Murphy-Paul bill by calling their
office now at (202) 224-2152 <%28202%29%20224-2152>. When you reach a
staffer, you can say something like:*

"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."

When you've made your call, *please report it here.*

*And if you haven't signed our petition at MoveOn yet, you can do that
here.
