(From site archives) We see those in the Muslim communities (American Muslims For Jerusalem, American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, to name just two) who hate the state of Israel and want to see another Muslim country occupy the Jewish Homeland. These anti-Israel forces are on the march again and this time they're attempting to thwart two pieces of legislation that support the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem and U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's Undivided Capital. (We have printed those bills below.) It's time to thwart the efforts of the Muslims who would deny Israel's right of sovereignty over Jerusalem, and the U.S.'s Embassy being located in Jerusalem! Please (at your earliest convenience) CALL, WRITE, or FAX your Congressional Representatives and urge them to SUPPORT H.R. 2515 & H.R. 2529! Urge them to SUPPORT and also become CO-SPONSORS! Also have your friends and family members call their Congressional Representatives and urge them to do the same! The Congressional Switchboard number is (202) 224-3121 And, as a final note, please THANK Rep's. Weiner (H.R.2515) and Reynolds (H.R.2529) for their efforts to bring common sense legislation to the forefront! SUPPORT JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL'S UNDIVIDED CAPITAL! SUPPORT THE MANDATE TO MOVE THE U.S. EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM -- IMMEDIATELY!!!
