Nancy Liela --

While the Obama administration is trying to push through a historic
nuclear deal with Iran to prevent another war, the pro-war Israel lobby
AIPAC (under their educational wing AIEF) is taking all but two freshmen
Congresspeople to Israel on a propaganda tour to turn them against the
deal.
We MUST act now!CALL the offices of the Democratic Representatives (and
tweet at them!). Tell them you disapprove of their trip and urge them to
support the nuclear deal.

Here's a calling script:
I'm calling because I heard that the Congressman/woman is going on a trip
to Israel in August on an all-expense trip to Israel paid for by AIPAC, a
lobby group determined to stop the Iran nuclear deal. AIPAC helped lead
the US into the war on Iraq, costing countless lives and billions of
dollars, and now it wants war on Iran. I believe what Secretary of State
Kerry has stated: that this deal is good for the United States, it's good
for Iran, it's good for Israel, and it's good for the world. I urge the
Congressperson to reject AIPAC’s pro-war stand and to instead support
the Iran nuclear deal!!!

In 2002, AIPAC pushed for war on Iraq and now they want to make war on
Iran. AIPAC is pouring $20 million into squashing this deal and the
alternative to this deal is clear: it’s war. We must stop AIPAC from
dragging us into another disastrous war!

The Congressional recess is a time for elected representatives to be home
in their districts, reaching out to their constituents, not taking
propaganda trips to Israel on AIPAC’s dime. Call and tweet at the list
of freshmen Congresspeople. We’ll be in DC visiting their offices, and
we need YOU to make the phone calls to all of them.

These freshmen are key: their votes can make the difference between the
deal being passed or rejected.

If our representatives want to earn more respect from the American public,
they better prove that their allegiance is not to a foreign government or
a group that lobbies on behalf of a foreign government, but to the
citizens they are elected to represent.

For peace and an end to wars,

Alli, Chelsea, Janet, Jodie, Lia, Lisa, Medea, Michaela, Michelle, Mike,
Nancy and Tighe
