Make your tax-deductible contribu- tion below to help us publish our open letter to the Obama Admin. | During his November 4 acceptance speech, President-Elect Barack Obama stated that " There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can't solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree." Over the years, we haven't agreed with many of the President-Elect's statements, policies, and votes on Israel/Palestine, but we believe that he is sincere in being willing to listen to those with whom he disagrees. That's why we're asking you to join us in taking action to make our voices heard and help set the tone for the Obama Administration's Palestine/Israel policies. Here's how: |
1) Sign our open letter "President-Elect Obama: We Need a Change in Israel/Palestine Policy".
