A friend sent this request…

Can we cover down on all 535 folks in Congress plus flood the White House switchboard? I’d like to blanket both houses with calls and emails trying to stop this. These are the fuckheads that kidnapped and murdered a good friend of mine in late 2015. Biden was briefed everyday on MSG(Ret) John Hamen’s situation and, as far as anyone I know, would not even consider a rescue attempt that close to the election cycle. Now he’s president and removing the chains simply because Trump put them there?
I am still in close communication with John’s widow, and his 9 kids. I would like to tell her that a bunch of us are gonna call and write. I figure it is the least we could do for a guy who spent 14-16 years in USASOC units and all but one or two in airborne units.
If you don’t mind, can you share and ask folks to write and call their representatives.

Biden Revokes Terrorist Designation for Yemen's Houthis to Help Ease Dire Famine

https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/biden-yemen/2021/02/05/id/1008876/

"President Joe Biden's administration is moving to revoke the designation of Yemen's Houthis as a terrorist group, citing the need to mitigate one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.

President Donald Trump's administration had branded the Iranian-backed Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization, a move that limited the provision of aid to the beleaguered Yemeni people, who have suffered under a yearslong civil war and famine....."

Somehow, I think, removing their Terrorist Designation is not going to do much about helping those suffering from the famine. Probably will help the Houthis a great bit.
