[Peace] today 1pm: pressing Rodney Davis to back Amash bill against Trump's Saudi arms deal

[Robert Naiman]

Today Rodney Davis is having "office hours" at his office in Champaign from
1-3 pm. My understanding of their claimed rules is: they take people four
at a time on a "first come first served" basis, and then that group of four
people gets ten minutes to talk about whatever they want. So, if you don't
prepare a group of four to talk about what you want, then you might wind up
in a group of people who want to talk about four different things, which
means that you might get 2.5 minutes to talk about what you want.

So, here's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for three people who will meet
me at 1pm at Rodney Davis' office to talk about ending U.S. support for the
Saudi-UAE war and blockade in Yemen, which is deliberately pushing Yemen
into famine; specifically, about co-sponsoring and voting for the bipartisan
Amash-Pocan resolution
<https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-joint-resolution/102>
to block part of Trump's Saudi arms deal. So that we get the full ten
minutes for this topic.

I'll present the IL-13 signers on this petition [not too late to sign and
share, I haven't printed it out yet]:

Congress: Vote NO on Trump's Saudi Arms Deal

Who would like to participate in a group of four to talk to Rodney Davis
about this? Reply to me directly.
