[Peace] Let's ask Rodney Davis to support Trump's diplomacy with North Korea

[Robert Naiman]

In the all the time that Rodney Davis has been my Representative, he hasn't
done one single thing I've asked him to do on war and peace, even when it
was bipartisan, even when it was simply a matter of saying that the
President should comply with the War Powers Clause of the Constitution and
the War Powers Resolution, which is U.S. law.

Let's give Rodney Davis the slowest pitch imaginable. Let's ask him to
issue a public statement in support of President Trump's diplomacy with
North Korea.

Dear Robert,



*Stand with Ro Khanna. Dems shouldn't oppose N. Korea diplomacy just
because Trump is POTUS.    Sign the petition

A key reason that we have too much war is that too many Democrats and
Republicans opportunistically support unconstitutional wars whenever the
President belongs to their party and too many Democrats and Republicans
opportunistically oppose diplomacy whenever the President belongs to the
other party.

Now, some Senate Democrats are opportunistically opposing U.S. diplomacy
with North Korea - which Democrats have long supported - just because
Donald Trump, a Republican, is President.

California Democratic Rep. *Ro Khanna* and liberal *New York Times*
 columnist *Nick Kristof* are calling out these Senate Democrats for their
shameful opportunism.

Kristof wrote
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=N%2BmhZOPVXK%2BmCHgpgLT%2BC9gTv5jMd0bE>:
"*partisan petulance seems to be turning some Democrats into spoilers*."

Rep. Khanna said
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=b8VXAm%2Buxk0IkpLf47j12dgTv5jMd0bE>
: "*. at NickKristof⁩ is right that Democrats should support Trump’s efforts
of engagement and diplomacy with North Korea. ⁦@SenSchumer⁩ is simply wrong
on this issue. Democrats should learn from the blunder of the Iraq war.*⁦"

In addition to Schumer, Democratic senators who signed a letter insisting
on conditions for a deal that North Korea specialist Joel Wit of the
Stimson Center called "*a prescription for failure because no one could
achieve the conditions*" were
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=FN5Sar19Unvvj%2BQE4laUg9gTv5jMd0bE>
 *Sherrod Brown, Dick Durbin, Dianne Feinstein, Patrick Leahy, Robert
Menendez *and* Mark Warner*.


*Tell your Senators and Representative to stand with Ro Khanna and Nick
Kristof in opposing this shameful Democratic partisan opportunism that
threatens diplomacy by signing our petition
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nXqiE9sd3ZKkGhZCeO9QxtgTv5jMd0bE>.
