ACTION ALERT! SUPPORT THE BOUSTANY/COHEN/CARNAHAN LETTER!

The Hoyer / Cantor letter about Israel being circulated on the Hill is reprehensible. The file’s original name—”AIPAC Letter Hoyer Cantor May 2009.pdf” as Al Kamen pointed out on May 15—is the least of its offenses. M.J. Rosenberg is disgusted by this letter, going so far as to call it, ‘bipartisanship at its most loathsome”.

Thankfully, there is an alternative... but only if we encourage our representatives to sign the letter being circulated by Members Boustany, Cohen and Carnahan. This letter supports President Obama’s charted course for American policy in the Middle East, specifically his intention to provide strong American leadership to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian and broader Arab-Israeli conflicts.

We hope you will take the time to connect with your representatives and urge them to sign the letter being circulated by U.S. House of Representatives Members Boustany, Cohen, and Carnahan. As of Friday, 29 May, 66 signatures have been collected for the Boustany/Cohen/Carnahan letter. That’s just not enough.
