VOTE ON YEMEN IS BLOCKED IN HOUSE

The House just voted 201-187 in favor of H.Res. 1142, a rule de-privileging and preventing a vote on  H.Con.Res. 138 to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen. Within H.Res.1142 (The Manage our Wolves Act) lurked the language that  depriviled HCONRES 138. Peace Action Maine notes that Representative Chellie Pingree has co-sponsored HCONRES 138 and voted NO to deprivilege it. Representative Bruce Poliquin has NOT co-sponsored and voted YEA to deprivilege it. PA statement:  Ducking Constitutional Responsibility, GOP House Blocks Vote on the War in Yemen. We feel it is important to thank Representative Pingree for challenging dogs of war today.

     Chellie Pingree (D):(202) 225-6116
     Rep. Bruce Poliquin (R): (202) 225-6306

The  House delegation  can also be reached using the congressional hotline, (202) 224-3121
