This war was not authorized by congress,<br> has strengthened Al Qaeda,<br> and has claimed thousands of civilian lives. The Saudis have been criticized for the deliberate targeting of civilians,<br> blocking ports causing a food crisis,<br> and blocking humanitarian aid. There is a bill waiting in the senate to end US involvement,<br> but leadership is stalling it. \n\nThese are real lives,<br> normal people like you and me. They are not pawns in a geopolitical game,<br> someone needs to give them a voice. \n\nCalling congress to end the war in Yemen is the best way to make a change.
