US Campaign Against the Israeli Occupation Launches Report Card, 110th Congress

The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation is excited to announce the launch of its report card for the 110th Congress, 1st Session (2007).

A PDF version of the report card can be viewed by clicking here

The report card grades Senators on four resolutions (two positive, two negative) and Representatives on seven resolutions (two positive, five negative).

The US Campaign would like to thank its super-intern, Brittany Brown, for researching and compiling the information found in the report card.

Find out if your Members of Congress support restricting the sale of cluster munitions, a renewed U.S. role in Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking, Israel's illegal annexation of East Jerusalem, condemning the UN for highlighting Israel's human rights violations, and much more by clicking here

Knowing the positions of your Members of Congress is the first step in changing policy. However, we can't rely on politicians to change policy on their own. We've got to organize and mobilize people in our home Congressional districts to educate our elected decision-makers about the need to change U.S. policy toward Israel/Palestine to support human rights, international law, and equality for all, rather than supporting Israel's illegal military occupation and human rights violations against Palestinians.

The US Campaign has a network of Congressional District Coordinators (CDC's) designed to do just that. If you'd like to be responsible for organizing and mobilizing people in your Congressional district to educate your Members of Congress on this issue, please join the CDC network today by clicking here

Save the date! Monday, November 5 is an international day of action against cluster bombs. The US Campaign is joining with the Friends Committee on National Legislation, Amnesty International and many others to support a call-in day to Congress asking Members of Congress to cosponsor the Cluster Munitions Civilian Protection Act (S.594/H.R.1755).
