My dear Friend and president, DJT,

                  Please forgive me, but I have trouble keeping track of the countries in Northern Africa. Today I got confused about Yemen and your veto of the bipartisan Congressional Resolution to end our military involvement there. I thought we had pulled out of there but then looked it up and found you pulled us out of Syria, not Yemen. I wish I had more time to invest in learning about the issues of the Middle East so I could keep these things straight.

                  Can you help me understand why one of the richest countries in the world, Saudia Arabia, needs our help in Yemen. They have plenty of young people in their country so if they want to support the civil war in Yemen, they can afford to do it by themselves. Don't you think?

                  Please remember the Quaker mantra, "War is not the answer." I encourage you to go with your gut instinct to avoid US involvement in other countries. Be like Gilda Radner's character, Emily Litella, and tell Congress, "never mind," and go ahead and sign the resolution to pull our troops out of Yemen.

                  I hope your Opportunity Zone meeting with tribal leaders goes well today. 

                  Best,

                  RCA
