Urge Speaker Pelosi to send Rep. Khanna to the NDAA conference to end the war
You may have only the vaguest idea who “Marianne Williamson” is. For our purposes, it doesn’t really matter that much who she is. What matters for our purposes is that she’s being allowed to address millions of Americans on TV. And she’s using that soapbox to denounce U.S. participation in the Saudi regime’s genocidal war in Yemen.
CBS News’ Face the Nation reports:
Marianne Williamson, a Democratic candidate for president, condemned the Trump administration's military and economic assistance to the Saudi-led coalition waging a bloody campaign against Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen.
"We are giving aerial support to a genocidal war that Saudi Arabia is waging against Yemen," Williamson, an author and spiritual adviser, told "Face the Nation" Sunday. "Tens of thousands of people have been starved, including children."
Unfortunately for us, the Saudi regime’s genocidal war in Yemen has largely dropped out of the U.S. corporate “news” again, as it always seems to do whenever Congress isn’t publicly fighting about it. So to have someone talking about it who’s being allowed to address millions of Americans on TV is a very big deal, as a former vice-president might have said.
Watch and share the CBS News clip of Marianne Williamson denouncing the U.S.-backed Saudi genocide in Yemen.
Urge Speaker Pelosi to send Ro Khanna to the House-Senate NDAA conference so he can insist that the Smith-Khanna Yemen War Powers amendment is included in the veto-proof bill that’s sent to Trump.
Thanks for all you do to help end the Saudi genocide in Yemen,
Sarah Burns, Hassan El-Tayyab, and Robert Naiman
