Not One More Weapon to Israel

Hi Friends,

Candidates are running ads ridiculing their opponents for supporting endless wars.1

But Congress is humming right along, allowing endless shipments of war weapons to Israel, and even advancing legislation to dump mountains of cash into the Pentagon while entangling the U.S. and Israeli militaries to such an extent that the weapons shipments may in the future be secret.

We've been pointing out for years numerous U.S. laws violated by every weapons shipment.2 This week in Austin, the Democratic National Committee is expected to vote on a resolution in support of upholding one of those laws.3 The author of the resolution just spoke with us about it, and we've posted the video.4

RootsAction will be in Austin with a mobile billboard, and we've been emailing the DNC members. We'll let you know what happens.

One thing we should all do, and do often, is email and phone our representative and senators. Today, we're demanding, "No more weapons to Israel."

In addition to emailing Congress at the link above, you can phone your representative's and senators' offices at this number (all you have to know is your address and what you want your members of Congress to do):

(202) 224-3121

Can you support our work in Austin and around the country?

We cannot do it without you!
