Subject: NYT, WaPo, NPR: Report That the House Voted Against the Saudi War in
Yemen
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=qyo%2BdSD%2FsTPcdv9fqP%2FyP31%2FyEUiChPA>
Dear Miriam,
Urge NYT, WaPo, & NPR to report the House voted to prohibit U.S. participation
in the Saudi war in Yemen.
Take Action
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=v7i7pp1kOQp3mAN4Utk0K31%2FyEUiChPA>
As you know, on July 14 the U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly
to prohibit U.S. military participation in the Saudi-UAE war in Yemen, when it
passed the Davidson and Nolan amendments to the National Defense Authorization
Act [NDAA]. [1]
So far, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and NPR have failed to report
this news. The Los Angeles Times reported in an editorial that "the House of
Representatives passed several amendments to the National Defense Authorization
Act that call for greater congressional oversight on how U.S. weapons are being
used in Yemen," but failed to note that the House passed two amendments that
prohibit U.S. military participation in Saudi Arabia's Yemen war. [2] Current
U.S. military participation includes refueling the Saudi and UAE warplanes that
are bombing Yemen. [3]
Urge the NYT, WaPo, and NPR not to censor the news that the House has voted
against U.S. participation in the Saudi war in Yemen by signing our petition at
MoveOn
