Tuesday December 2, 2014

Quote of the day:
"The writing on the walls isn't just 'Death to Jews' or 'Death to Arabs.' The writing is an attempt to harm the fabric of our lives here and to dilute the joint values of Israeli society. Judges are not enough - we also need leadership that knows how to read the writing and to stop the deterioration."

PAST ACTION - Tell your Representatives and Senators to continue to support diplomacy with Iran

Update: this action, now closed, ran in December 2014

Tell your Senators and Representatives in Congress: “I support continued diplomacy with Iran -- and I want you to do the same.”  Call 855-686-6927*.
