[Peace] please call Mark Kirk today against Saudi arms deal!

[Robert Naiman]

To get to 51 - that's what we need to pass this resolution - we need five
Republicans, even if we get every Senate Democrat. Which we probably won't.
If it's like the cluster bomb vote in the House, we get 90% of Democrats
and 20% of Republicans. We need five, six, seven Republicans.

We have Rand Paul. We have Mike Lee. Maybe we get Jerry Moran from Kansas.

We need Mark Kirk. Call him now. Takes 15 seconds.

Dear Robert,

A vote on the Paul-Murphy-Lee-Franken resolution
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=N%2B5gSMb9mr7g44bVZz%2Bmb52b2kOPCaTL&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.congress.gov%2Fbill%2F114th-congress%2Fsenate-joint-resolution%2F39>
to disapprove the Saudi arms deal is expected as early as *Tuesday*.
Senator Murphy's office told us that they are hearing interest from other
Senate offices about the resolution, because they're getting phone calls
about it. We're getting through. But we're reaching towards 51 votes, in a
Senate that only has 46 Democrats. That's why we need more phone calls.


*Call Sen. Mark Kirk now at (202) 224-2854 <%28202%29%20224-2854>.* When
you reach a staffer or leave a message, you can say something like:

"I urge you to vote YES on SJ Res 39, the Paul-Murphy-Lee-Franken
resolution to disapprove the Saudi arms deal."

When you've made your call, *please report it here
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=fboWM30m3r1kJlmtH0OjnZ2b2kOPCaTL&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justforeignpolicy.org%2Fact%2Fsenate-oppose-saudi-arms-deal>.*

Human Rights Watch says hundreds of civilians—including at least 200
children—have been killed so far in U.S.-enabled unlawful Saudi airstrikes
in Yemen. But despite extensive documentation by Human Rights Watch of
these violations, the US continues to fuel the conflict. After selling over
$20 billion dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia in 2015, some in Washington
want to add another $1.15 billion dollars in arms sales.

That why Human Rights Watch is calling on the Senate to pass the
Paul-Murphy-Lee-Franken resolution. *Call Sen. Mark Kirk at (202) 224-2854
<%28202%29%20224-2854> now*. Report your call *here
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=P7OiS0l%2BL%2B%2BV9i0cXzULK52b2kOPCaTL&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.justforeignpolicy.org%2Fact%2Fsenate-oppose-saudi-arms-deal>*.


After you've made your call, please read and share my strategy piece this
morning in LobeLog:
