"Cheer or Jeer" Your Representative for Signing or Not Signing Letter on Gaza Blockade

From the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation
January 27th, 2010

Unfortunately, it’s not too often that we get the opportunity to thank Members of Congress for doing the right thing. That’s why it’s so important to do so when they do something that we ask of them.

On January 21, 2010, 54 Representatives sent President Obama a letter that termed Israel’s blockade of the occupied Gaza Strip as “de facto collective punishment” and called on the United States to press Israel “for immediate relief for the citizens of Gaza.”
