Dear Miriam,
Urge Senators to co-sponsor the Murphy-Paul bill to set new conditions on
U.S. military aid to Saudi Arabia.
Take
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=nctBZnJtBB72bQbXuxug6X%2BrhuKa
btMe> Action
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) have
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=9sjuObOPOlxpmEPx856CU3%2BrhuKa
btMe> introduced legislation to prevent the U.S. from continuing to support
Saudi-led military campaigns in places like Yemen where Saudi Arabia's
year-long campaign has led to a devastating humanitarian crisis and a
security vacuum that has empowered our terrorist enemies al Qaeda and ISIS.
The Murphy-Paul bipartisan legislation will require the President to
formally certify that the government of Saudi Arabia is demonstrating an
ongoing effort to target terrorist groups, minimize harm to civilians, and
facilitate humanitarian assistance before Congress can consider the sale or
transfer of air-to-ground munitions to Saudi Arabia.
Urge Senators to co-sponsor the Murphy-Paul bill by signing
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=AJPE5e4X%2FhJzjAlFtKdAVgTeEHKo
Wr8K> our petition at MoveOn..
"I have yet to see evidence that the civil war we're supplying and
supporting in Yemen advances our national security. The more it drags on,
the clearer it becomes that our military involvement on behalf of the
Saudi-led coalition is prolonging human suffering in Yemen and aiding the
very groups that are intent on attacking us," Senator Murphy said.
"I believe, along with Sen. Murphy, that the U.S. should halt the sale of
air-to-ground munitions to Saudi Arabia until Congress has conducted proper
oversight and ensured that such munitions are being used in a way that is
consistent with our country's national security strategy and values,"
Senator Paul said.
The Murphy-Paul
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=W4FQd7%2Btq9yefbXsCGXGun%2Brhu
KabtMe> legislation will require the President to attest that Saudi Arabia
is concretely demonstrating its anti-terror efforts and protection of
civilians before Congress can consider a sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia.
Urge the Senate to support the Murphy-Paul bill for greater oversight of
U.S. weapons sales to Saudi Arabia by signing
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=wMmme%2BumCfw0G0opNzdm63%2Brhu
