I thought I was voting on a suspension bill, and I have since submitted a statement for the Congressional Record reflecting that I intended to vote against the rule.

On November 14th I mistakenly voted ‘aye’ on a rule stripping ‘privileged’ status from H.Con.Res. 138 which requires the President to withdraw all U.S military forces from the conflict in Yemen.

Of all the mistakes I could make, this one bothers me to no end, because I’m an unswerving cosponsor of H.Con.Res.138 and feel very strongly that the U.S. should immediately withdraw all military forces from the conflict in Yemen.

The ongoing war and humanitarian crisis in Yemen is horrendous and I will continue to do everything I can to ensure that the U.S. is not complicit in human rights violations in Yemen.

One of the many reasons that I vote for you is your transparency. This is a prime example. Please consider this mistake forgiven; we know where you really stand, and we know you’ll do everything in your power to work on the Yemen issue.

Don’t you bother to read, know (ask questions if need be) before voting? Do you really think those suffering & dying care that your record will reflect that you ‘meant’ to stop the suffering & genocide? Disgusting.
