Take Action: "Cheer or Jeer" Your Representative for Signing or Not Signing Letter on Gaza Blockade
January 27th, 2010Unfortunately,
it's not too often that we get the opportunity to thank Members of
Congress for doing the right thing. That's why it's so important to do
so when they do something that we ask of them.
On January 21, 2010, 54 Representatives
sent President Obama a letter that termed Israel's blockade of the
occupied Gaza Strip as "de facto collective punishment" and called on
the United States to press Israel "for immediate relief for the
citizens of Gaza."
