The Senate will vote early this afternoon on Sen. Duckworth's Iran War Powers Resolution, S J Res 123, and then early this evening on Sen. Sanders's Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop transfers of 12,000 half-ton bombs and bulldozers to Israel, S J Res 138 and S J Res 32, respectively. Please drive calls, not emails, as they won't be tabulated in time, to your senators via 833-STOP-WAR or 202.224.3121. Unfortunately none of these are likely to pass, but it is still important to demand senators do the right thing.
In the House, we expect a vote tomorrow (though this is not yet confirmed) on US Rep. Gregory Meeks's (D-NY) Iran War Powers Resolution, H Con Res 40. This has a decent chance of passing, so please drive calls to the House as well. Here is Peace Action's alert.

MAKE URGENT CALLS TO YOUR SENATORS TODAY!
1) Call the Congressional switchboard at 202-224-3121
2) Ask to be connected to Senator Collins's or Senator King's offices: Make 2 calls!!!
3) Once connected, give them this message (in as many of your own words as possible):
Hello, my name is ____________ and I'm a voting constituent from (your city in Maine). I am calling to urge the senator to co-sponsor and vote YES on two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block the Trump Administration’s unilateral shipments of over 20,000 bombs worth $660 million and bulldozers to Israel.
S.J.Res.138 would block the sale of 22,000 one-thousand-pound bombs, and S.J.Res. 32 would block the sale of Caterpillar bulldozers, used to destroy civilian infrastructure and displace Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. I want to see the senator co-sponsor and support both of these critical resolutions. Thank you.
