End the Wars against Yemen and Venezuela!

Dear VFP Members and Friends, Wow, lot’s going on in the real world and in the world of Trump. By declaring a National Emergency to get more funding for his racist wall, President Trump continues to set the agenda for the 24 hour news cycle, which is all Trump, all the Time. This takes much needed attention away from other important developments.
End the U.S./Saudi War on Yemen
Last week the House of Representatives voted to cut off all funding for U.S. involvement in the brutal genocidal war against the civilian population of Yemen, where tens of thousands of children are literally starving to death as a result of conscious policies being implemented by Saudi Arabia and the United States.
The U.S. Senate passed a similar bill in December, and now must get together with the House to bring their two bills into alignment (a bunch of pro-Israel crap was added to the House bill in order to sweeten the deal). President Trump has promised to veto that bill if it gets to his desk, which would actually be his first veto as president.
Whether it becomes law or not, the House and the Senate are finally representing the will of the People, who do not want to be party to the starvation of children as a weapon in a war that has no significance whatsoever for real security in the U.S.
I encourage VFP members to write letters to the editor this week calling for an end to the war on the children of Yemen.
No War on Venezuela – All Out for February 23!
In the meantime, the United States government’s regime change war against Venezuela continues. Fortunately, there is at least SOME opposition being mounted in the Congress. Rep. Ilhan Omar, the courageous Somali American congresswoman from Minnesota, grilled war criminal Elliott Abrams, who has been resurrected to lead the dirty war against Venezuela.
Activists in over 50 cities are planning for internationally coordinated local actions calling for No War on Venezuela. These include a growing number of Veterans For Peace chapters.
It is critically important that we end the brutal war in Yemen and that we stop the U.S. from completing its attempted coup in Venezuela.
Keep on Waging Peace!
All out for February 23! Hands Off Venezuela!  Gerry Condon
P.S. If your chapter is taking action, please email any pictures or reports topress@veteransforpeace.org
