[Peace] Tell Tammy Duckworth: Stop Saudi Arms Sales Until Carnage in Yemen Ends

[Robert Naiman]

Tammy Duckworth isn't our Rep. But she wants to be our Senator. So, I
figure, she should care what we think.

I made my call. The office was very nice. I detected no complaint when I
gave my address in Urbana.

If we could get Tammy to come out against this, it would be quite a coup.

Dear Robert,

Today the *New York Times* had a *very strong editorial*
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ryzTXHwwXJBGdlBKHOb2yhDSSWccJshP>
calling for Congress to block the proposed Saudi arms deal. The NYT said:

Congress should put the arms sales on hold and President Obama should
quietly inform Riyadh that the United States will withdraw crucial
assistance if the Saudis do not stop targeting civilians and agree to
negotiate peace.

*Rep. Tammy Duckworth is running to be our Senator from Illinois. Call
Duckworth now at 202-225-3711 <202-225-3711>.* When you reach a staffer or
leave a message, you can say something like:

"Please make a public statement that the U.S. should put the arms sale to
Saudi Arabia on hold until Saudi Arabia stops targeting civilians in Yemen
and agrees to negotiate peace."

When you've made your call, *please report it here
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=En2MULH5KdpgVV8IDkHYFhDSSWccJshP>.*

And if you haven't signed and shared our petition to Congress yet against
the arms deal, *you can do that here
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=t%2BKFlUdywk2UqUDttIcLlRDSSWccJshP>.*

Thanks for all you do to help make U.S. foreign policy more just,
