| Subject: Reject National Defense Authorization Act, save Yemen instead Fri Dec 13, 2019 7:54 pm | |
| Congress has a chance to stop President Trump's military support of the Saudi coalition in Yemen in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), but in the latest version of this bill failed to do so. The House passed the NDAA on Wednesday night even though the bill does nothing to stop the war in Yemen. The Senate can still reject the NDAA in the coming days when it votes.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said "Voters would be appalled to know that instead of seizing the opportunity to end illegal U.S. participation in the horrific Saudi-led bombings of Yemen, Congress will continue to fund Trump’s unconstitutional war, which threatens to kill 24 million Yemenis facing starvation and disease." Sanders and Khanna both say “Every member of Congress should vote against this measure."
