ADC NEEDS YOUR HELP
PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IMMEDIATELY.
The US Senate unanimously passed an extremely unbalanced resolution on the War
in Gaza. The resolution can be seen here:
http://aipac.org/Publications/SourceMaterialsCongressionalAction/SenateRes.pdf
CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES NOW and let them know you oppose any
legislation which places blame on only one side, fails to recognize the plight
of the Palestinian civilians suffering under Israel siege for years before the
war, and does not hold Israel accountable for any violations of International
and American Law and the Laws of War.
Instructions on how to contact your Representatives are below.
You can find contact information for your representatives by clicking here.
You can also find talking ADC's talking points on the issue here.
Continue to visit ADC's GAZA CRISIS RESOURCE CENTER for ways to take action,
donate, and keep up to date about recent developments in the Gaza Strip.
How to contact your Senators in 7 steps.
1. Go to http://capwiz.com/adc/dbq/officials/ , if you have trouble locating
contact information call ADC at 202-244-2990.
2. In the middle of the page there is a space to enter your zip code, enter it
and press GO
3. You will get information about President; your two senators; and your
District Representative. Decide if you will call one or all three of them - (We
suggest to call/write all of them)
4. Click on the name of the person you want to call. This will take you to the
Congressperson's home page. Once there click on the tab above their
picture that reads "Contact". You will get contact information for their
District office as well as their DC-based office. Call the DC- number since
Congress is back in session this week.
5. Call the number, a legislative correspondent (LC) will pick up the phone:
Immediately say you are from the Congressperson's district and mention your zip
code
6. Ask to speak to the FOREIGN POLICY LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT. The LC will most
likely respond that he or she is not available and you can leave a message, at
that point make sure to speak your piece concisely and clearly in 1-2 minutes
maximum (they don't have time and you want them to write down what you say and
free up the line for others to call)
Suggested Script & Talking Points:
I am a constituent in the Congressperson's district and I want to express my
indignation at the massacre of civilians in Gaza. This is not a war against
terror, it's a war against civilians as Israel has killed over 760 Dead
including 219 Children and 89 Women, and Over 3,085 Injured, including 46%
Women andChildren, and continues to target schools, homes, and places of
worship. We provide Israel with 3.2 billion tax dollars every year and I don't
want my money used like that. I want my Congressperson to: A. Call for an
immediate cease fire B . Coordinate a humanitarian shipment to Gaza; and C
. Hold Israel accountable for misuse of U.S. supplied weapons pursuant to US
law like the Arms Export Control Act andthe 1952 US Israel Treaty regarding
arms sales.
7. Thank you.
This whole process should take you less than 10 minutes
