Friends,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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) <i>"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."</i> 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... <br>
<br>
<b>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).</b> <br>
<br>

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."<br>
