[Peace] Please call Durbin today on arms deal & (US-backed) Saudi war in Yemen

[Robert Naiman]

I just made my call. Takes 15 seconds to call. Takes 10 seconds to fill out
the callback report and add to the tally we can report to people in DC. 160
people reported to us yesterday that they called House offices, and that
was after we sent email to 100,000 people, so if you call and report your
call, you are one in 1000, even among people who care enough about this
stuff to be on an email list devoted to it.

Dear Robert,

Following the news this past weekend that a Saudi-led coalition airstrike
killed 10 children while they were studying in a school in Yemen,
California Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu said
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8N%2Bwqad9U6qdQr9OgE55WUxKbzCViOrN&url=https%3A%2F%2Flieu.house.gov%2Fmedia-center%2Fpress-releases%2Fcongressman-lieu-statement-latest-civilian-deaths-caused-saudi-led>
:

“I have tried numerous times to work with the Administration to stop the
United States from assisting Saudi Arabia in their indiscriminate killing
of civilians in Yemen. But when Saudi Arabia continues to kill civilians,
and in this case children, enough is enough. Having served on active duty,
one of my responsibilities was to teach the Law of War. I am also a
graduate of Air War College. The indiscriminate civilian killings by Saudi
Arabia look like war crimes to me. In this case, children as young as 8
were killed by Saudi Arabian air strikes. By assisting Saudi Arabia, the
United States is aiding and abetting what appears to be war crimes in
Yemen. The Administration must stop enabling this madness now.”

*Call Sen. Dick Durbin, now at (202) 224-2152 <%28202%29%20224-2152>.* When
you reach a staffer or leave a message, you can say something like:

"The US should stop enabling Saudi Arabia's bombing of children in Yemen. I
urge you to oppose the proposed Saudi arms deal."

When you've made your call, *please report it here
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=KTaXXAODsrbHSrofEW%2BR9kxKbzCViOrN&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justforeignpolicy.org%2Fact%2Fsenate-stop-saudi-arms-deal>.*

And if you haven't yet signed our petition urging Congress to block the
deal *you can do that here
