Quick Action: Sign the letter to tell Congress to Skip Netanyahu's Speech.
(Archive only, this action has ended.)
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu plans on making a mockery of our US Congress by using it as a platform for a political speech aimed at securing his re-election in Israel. Read about the controversy surrounding his plans in the New York Times.
Tell Congress to skip Netanyahu’s speech
Join us in raising our voices to protest Netanyahu’s speech, not because it’s a partisan snub, nor because the date is close to the Israeli elections, but because Netanyahu is going to Washington to undermine the U.S. strategy of diplomacy with Iran.
Instead of letting diplomacy work, Netanyahu wants the U.S. to impose harsher sanctions on Iran, all but ensuring that talks collapse and increasing the risk of war.
Raise your voice now and tell Congress to boycott Netanyahu’s speech: http://act.rootsaction.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=10842&tag=ETO20150127&track=ETO20150127

"Republicans are insistent not just that the foreign leader will be heard from, but that he will get an approving response even if they have to put ringers in the seats to ensure that. They're quite dedicated to the thought of going to war with Iran . . . "

All of this is because a foreign country wants to demonstrate its power and control in the U.S. Government.

Awesome photo of the banner that the Orthodox Jews are carrying in the link above that is announced with the words, "Follow Up!" Check it out--"Netanyahu Go Home! You don't represent Jews or Judaism. "Israel" is not a Jewish State:"
