Did You Vote on the U.S. Invasion of Yemen?

U.S. Bombing of Southern Yemen (2013/Reuters)

U.S. military members described as "elite and clandestine" were involved in the killing of 65 people in Yemen last month.  This is in addition to the roughly 1,000 people the U.S. has bombed to death in the country since 2009*.

With the U.S. invasion of Yemen lasting six years you would think that the people paying for the war would at least be asked to vote on it.

Did you see a ballot initiative about funding the war in Yemen?

Has your Senator called you and asked your opinion about the matter?

Maybe there was a box on the IRS tax form that asked how much of your tax dollars should go toward funding the war against the people of Yemen.

Or maybe the politicians simply don't allow their subjects to vote on important matters like war and peace.
