Greetings all, Please start calling the senators and representatives as soon as you see this. The State Dept. has put out a statement warning American citizens *not * to travel to Gaza via land or sea, that it is dangerous, that they could be arrested, beaten up or even killed by Israeli soldiers. This statement is beyond disgusting. The congresspeople who supposedly represent all the American passengers need to be contacted that they need to do their job and demand that the U.S. State Department needs to do its job and protect American citizens from any kind of attack by Israeli occupation force soldiers. Also, they need to contact the Israeli govt. and inform that it won't be tolerated to stop or attack the flotilla in any way, shape or form. * * *Important Note: It is better to call the local phone number of the Senators and Congressmen and women rather than the Washington D.C. number.* * * *Donna* --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jane <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Jun 24, 2011 at 2:31 PM Subject: pdf of How you can help To: List <[email protected]>
