Subject: Thank Rep. Betty McCollum for standing up to AIPAC
Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN-4th District) has banned the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) from her office until she receives a
formal, written apology from AIPAC for equating her vote in the House
International Relations Committee against HR4681, the Palestinian
Anti-Terrorism Act, with "support for terrorists". Please take a moment
to thank Rep. McCollum for her stance against HR4681 and for her courage
to stand up to AIPAC's mischaracterization of her. You can call her office
directly at 202-225-6631 or call the Capitol switchboard toll-free at
1-888-355-3588 and ask to be transferred to her office.
If no one is able to take your call, please leave a brief message of
thanks along with your name and address so that Rep. McCollum can get
in touch with you. Please call as soon as possible!! If you're Jewish,
make sure to note that in your message to Rep. McCollum. She needs to know
that Jews oppose AIPAC's bullying tactics as much as anyone.
