Don't let him back down!  View this email in your browser Dear Peace Activists:  It is truly "David against Goliath," and "David" needs our help! In a historic development, U.S. Senator Rand Paul is opposing the Israel lobby and attempting to stop aid to Israel.   Senator Paul has placed a "hold" on a bill that would give Israel a total of $38 billion over the next 10 years (the largest such aid package in U.S. history).  A "hold" means that Senator Paul has informed Majority Leader Mitch McConnel that Paul does not wish the bill to reach the Senate floor, and that Paul may filibuster the bill if it moves forward. AIPAC has issued an action alert calling on its members to pressure Senator Paul to end his resistance. (Fyi: Majority Leader McConnell has received over $1.5 million from Israel partisans and appears to be in AIPAC's pocket.)  We urge everyone to take two extremely important actions: (1) Contact Senator Rand Paul and urge him to continue his courageous action to block the aid. (2) Contact the two senators from your state and ask them to join Senator Paul in opposing this bill. This is NOT a partisan action; it has nothing to do with political parties or whether you oppose or agree with Senator Paul's other political positions.  This is an opportunity for us to work to stop the massive aid to Israel that enables its criminal oppression and carnage against Palestinians, helps fund Israeli violence against others in the region, creates destructive hostility to the U.S., and diverts U.S. tax money from the urgent needs of Americans. Please contact Senator Paul and your senators now!! Thank you for helping us end the cover up, manipulation, and eventually, the aid.   – Alison Weir Thank you, as always, for your support. Your tax-deductible donations are what make our work possible.
