Support the Goldstone Report - Call Congress NOW!


By admin - Posted on 02 November 2009

The U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation calls on all concerned citizens to call their congressional representatives. CJME is a long-time member organization of the US Campaign and encourages you to make this call.

It looks like Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen's H.Res.867, which condemns the Goldstone Report for its findings of war crimes committed before, during, and after Israel's "Operation Cast Lead" assault on the Gaza Strip, will be voted on Tuesday, November 3rd. Over 2,000 supporters have already taken action by emailing their Representatives, asking them not to vote for this atrocious resolution. Join them by clicking here to send a message to your Representative. Find out more ways you can stop H.Res.867 and end Israel's illegal siege of the Gaza Strip below.

Join the national call-in day! The House will likely be voting on H.Res.867 on TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, so we need to get as many calls as we can in as early as possible. Calling Congress is as easy as 1-2-3! First, find out who your Representative is here. Then, call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask to be connected with your Representative. Finally, use our talking points on H.Res.867 to tell your Representative why s/he should "vote no on H.Res.867."

 


 

This Mission led by former South African Judge Richard Goldstone of the United Nations Human Rights Council.  Judge Goldstone was also part of the International Panel of the Commission of Enquiry into the Activities of Nazism in Argentina, and part of the International War Crimes Tribunal on the former Yugoslavia. His current report to the United Nations regarding the Gaza conflict called for “the prosecution of persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law [which] would contribute to ending such violations, to the protection of civilians and to the restoration of peace.”
