@SenBlumenthal: Stop Saudi Arabia from Pushing Yemen into Famine

Yemen is on the brink of famine, with millions of people at risk of starvation, because of Saudi Arabia's war and blockade that has been backed by the United States. Now the Trump Administration wants to send Saudi Arabia even more weapons, which would be perceived as a U.S. seal of approval on the continuation of Saudi Arabia's catastrophic war. [1]

Senators Murphy, Paul, Durbin, and Franken have introduced SJRes40 [2], co-sponsored by Sens. Tammy Baldwin and Jeff Merkley [3], which would restrict arms deals with Saudi Arabia on human rights grounds. Last September, Senator Blumenthal voted with Senator Murphy and Senator Durbin against sending more weapons to Saudi Arabia. [4]

Urge Senator Blumenthal to co-sponsor SJRes40 by signing our petition.
