I’m on Capitol Hill this week, with two tasks: urging Democrats to sign the Schakowsky letter supporting diplomacy with Iran, and urging Democrats to oppose the language attacking European sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank that’s been attached to the trade bills.
Your Representative, Earl Blumenauer, is key right now to getting the pro-settlement language out of the trade bills. He’s one of only two House Democrats who supported the trade bills in committee. He has been a champion of diplomacy, endorsed by J Street. If he says that the pro-settlement language has to removed from the trade bills, it’s much more likely to be removed.
I’m going to be visiting Blumenauer’s office tomorrow. Can you help me move Rep. Blumenauer to engage?
Please call Rep. Blumenauer’s office now at 202-225-4811. When you reach a staffer, you can say something like:
I urge Rep. Blumenauer to use his unique position of influence to push for removal of pro-settlement language from the trade bill.
