Dear Robert,

The Saudi regime is committing genocide in Yemen. The U.S. government is an
accomplice to the genocide. This crime against humanity didn’t start in
January 2017. It started in March 2015, on the watch of Barack Obama, Joe
Biden, John Brennan, and Ben Rhodes.

85,000 children have already been starved to death in Yemen. Two hundred
thousand human beings have already been killed since March 2015 in Yemen by
the Saudi regime's war and blockade. Another thirty thousand human beings
will be killed by the end of the year in Yemen, if the Saudi regime’s war
and blockade isn’t stopped.

On May 17, 2017, *Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy* said on the Senate floor
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=iobhOa%2BXfuamqil%2FhRVdnh%2BuLi%2B7DZ5%2B>
:

*"The Saudis are deliberately trying to create a famine inside Yemen in
order to essentially starve the Yemenis to the negotiating table."*

That was almost two years ago. Senator Murphy wasn’t just referring to the
previous four months. He was talking about the war that started in March
2015, on the watch of the Obama-Biden Administration.

*“Deliberate famine” is genocide.*

*John Brennan* was director of the CIA during the Obama-Biden
Administration, from *March 2013 to January 2017*. In that role, Brennan
was one of the most influential “national security” lieutenants in the
Obama-Biden Administration. On October 12, 2018, Brennan had an op-ed
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=jJQ2bo%2B%2BisV2zYFzf5zU2R%2BuLi%2B7DZ5%2B>
in the *Washington Post*, in which he referred to the Saudi regime’s
“disastrous
military foray into Yemen
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=2RdAfUyHznOrW4Hb4BfybB%2BuLi%2B7DZ5%2B>
.”

The Saudi regime’s “disastrous military foray into Yemen” – with
unconstitutional U.S. military participation - *began on John Brennan’s
watch*. So John Brennan – who was once CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia -
knows more about the Saudi regime’s “disastrous military foray into Yemen”
than most Americans.

Brennan’s op-ed
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=24ntJuBEx494tUg6YQ7kJh%2BuLi%2B7DZ5%2B>
linked
to a press report
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=RKy9t9pdebr0igfX6j9H6x%2BuLi%2B7DZ5%2B>
that
the Saudi regime’s de facto dictator Mohammed bin Salman had “threatened to
target women and children in Yemen irrespective of international criticism
that the Saudi-led alliance attacking Yemen is targeting civilian
facilities and critical infrastructure.”

According to the report
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nFRCxSMGwtPzlGVstIaK8B%2BuLi%2B7DZ5%2B>
Brennan linked to
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=88CNpHvu%2BJ1J9089JOv7ah%2BuLi%2B7DZ5%2B>,
MbS said:

*“Do not care about international criticism. We want to leave a big impact
on the consciousness of Yemeni generations. We want their children, women
and even their men to shiver whenever the name of Saudi Arabia is
mentioned.”*

This is genocide, with the active participation of the government of the
United States.

*There’s only one way to stop the genocide right now, and that’s for Senate
Republicans to override the “veto” of the Bernie Sanders – Mike Lee – Chris
Murphy Yemen War Powers Resolution.*

*Urge Senate Republicans to Do the Right Thing to Save the Children by
Signing Our Petition.*
