[CitizensTruth] Contact House RIGHT NOW! against House Res 34

[Janice Matthews]

Friends,

After calling Washington to register my staunch opposition, I've just 
sent an email to my new "Representative" in Northeast Kansas, Lynn 
Jenkins (ugh) . I encourage each of you, if you care in the least about 
the children of Gaza, or are the least bit ashamed of the actions of 
YOUR government, to contact your own Reps as well.

Yesterday, the Senate passed S.Res.10, a heinous statement (introduced 
by Extremist Homegrown Terrorism Proponents Reid and McConnell, with 31 
cosponsors, including Missouri's Kit Bond) /"Recognizing the right of 
Israel to defend itself against attacks from Gaza and reaffirming the 
United States' strong support for Israel in its battle with Hamas, and 
supporting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process."/  It's reported to 
have passed by "unanimous voice vote" which means that the cowards did 
NOT cast a written vote -- which means we can not learn who voted yes/no 
on this (which really should be illegal, in my opinion... ). And 
although some may have abstained from that voice vote, we know that NO 
one voted against it...

*The House will no doubt vote on H.Res. 34 shortly (introduced by Nancy 
Pelosi, and cosponsored by 11 scumbags, now referred to the House 
Committee on Foreign Affairs).*

Info on the House Comm on Foreign Affairs is here:

Committee Chairman Berman's statement on the security situation in 
Israel, 12/27/08-- "Israel has a right, indeed a duty, to defend itself 
in response to the hundreds of rockets and mortars fired from Gaza over 
the past week. No government in the world would sit by and allow its 
citizens to be subjected to this kind of indiscriminate bombardment. The 
loss of innocent life is a terrible tragedy, and the blame for that 
tragedy lies with Hamas."

To read these bills, see who cosponsored, and follow the actions as they 
move through Congress, go to http://Thomas.gov and enter a search term 
or the bill # to find what you're looking for.

Whether or not */our/* employees in Congress choose to actually 
/represent/ us, they need to know RIGHT NOW, on Day Two of this newly 
seated Reign-of-Terror Empire, that WE *ARE* PAYING ATTENTION!!!

If you need contact information, please go to Congress.org 
<http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/> and enter your zip code.

And in case you're not sure where you stand on this, please check out 
this very moving video,
"We Will Not Go Down (Song for Gaza)" posted at Youtube:

or just have a look at ANY news from somewhere other than the US... even 
Ha'aretz, in Israel, is reporting reality!

Finally, a "Let Gaza Live" march on Washington is being organized.
