Our
Plan: Education, letter writing, keeping
the boycotts strong!
~~~
First,
you’ll find information about AIPAC, The American Israel Public Affairs
Committee, and why you should be concerned about them. Next you will find pending bills from various
states that need our attention, followed by how you can help with the
resistance. Last are some links to learn
more about the boycotts.
~~~
AIPAC
has been disrupting American Democracy since 1951. If you aren’t sure how they affect our
government please watch the video at the link below. It runs 45 minutes, so choose a good
time. It’s called ‘The Day
Israel Attacked America.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JRgXie2teo
Amazingly 34 American service men were killed and 173 injured. Our
government hid this information from us, all because of AIPAC’s money.
Also
check out the ‘
Honor Liberty Veterans’
page for confirmation of this military crime which Israel perpetrated against
the USA:

Just
in case you think AIPAC’s influence ended in 1967, please read the following
articles from this year:
Congressional
reps taking money from Pro-Israel PACs—names and dollar amounts listed:
Only
8 US reps voted NO on sending more military aid to Israel; aid by the way, that
is used for ethnic cleansing and genocide:

We Must Resist!

There are
Pro-Israel Bills on the dockets in several US States.
We need to
develop responses!
CA - Assembly Resolution 50
“ . . . Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly recognizes both Israel's right
to exist as a nation, and to exist within safe and secure borders . . .”
CA - AB 1166
“This
bill would establish the California and Israel Trade and Economic Development
Act”
CO - HB1255 –postponed
indefinitely, so not necessarily a priority
“Negotiate
Resident Tuition For Israeli Students”
“State
of Israel; support and invite Honorable Consul General Opher Aviran to House.”
MO - HB 1729
–not on calendar so not necessarily a priority

the Resistance!
If
you find additional bills, please make sure you are on the original blog or
facebook post, and then post the information in comments. We will up-date this list and form new lists
as additional information becomes available.
Also,
if you have comment or letter writing suggestions that will fit in either PopVox’s
comment section (see below) or in congressional contact forms please also leave
them on the original posts. We may use
the very best or a combination of the very best in future posts, memes, or
files. However, all contributions are
welcome, original letters receive more political clout than form letters, so
having a variety of letters available for people to choose from helps us be
more effective.
Congressional
contact forms allow a total of 2,500 characters including spaces. Generally that comes out to between 450 – 470
words.
Find
your Reps!
Click on your state on the
map at the link below, and all your state reps are shown, with phone numbers,
e-mail addresses, and contact forms. If your state has an overwhelming
number of reps, go back to the first page and simply enter your zip code in the
form (no other information is needed even though it is asked for).
Only the reps for your immediate area will be
shown:

PopVox
also provides an easy way to find your reps and communicate with them, as well
as offering the ability to track bills, and to track voting records.
The page is currently down but it should be
back up soon:
https://www.popvox.com/
We
don’t find this site as effective or as easy to use as PopVox, but it is
functional now.
Please
use these sites to search your state on Israel, Palestine and any other key
words you think are important. We could
have missed significant bills that need our attention, and new ones can be
added at any time.
Please
share what you find . . .
