The US Congress recently passed Senate Resolution 10 and House Resolution 34, which justify and support Israel's War on Gaza which has killed 854, including over 320 women and children
House Resolution 34 (Vote: 340-5) - http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=hr111-34
Senate Resolution 10 (Vote: Unanimously approved)
For those of you in Wisconsin, Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold both voted for Senate Resolution 10 and Representatives Ron Kind and David Obey voted for House Resolution 34. However, Congresswoman Gwen Moore from Milwaukee was one of only five individuals in the House of Representatives that voted against the resolution.
If you believe that the US response to Israel's attacks on Gaza has been unbalanced and has ignored the plight of the people of Gaza, who are suffering immeasurably as a result of Israel's 18 month collective siege on Gaza and 15 days of continual Israeli bombardment, I strongly urge you to contact President-elect Obama and your representatives and senators via e-mail and/or phone to voice your concerns.
I have included below three websites where you can easily access the e-mail and phone numbers of President-elect Obama and your congressmen and women.

U.S. Senate - http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
U.S. House of Representatives - https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml
If you are interested in a template e-mail, please let me know, and I will provide it for you. Thank you.

Thanks Jason for keeping us updated on the unfortunate events taking place. Hopefully, as many people as possible will be able to wake from their hatred and lack of consciousness is reinforced by the same around them. Continue being a light in the darkness. Your peaceful presence can positively affect people.
