TELL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO SUPPORT
REAL DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS IN PALESTINE

********************************

Citizens for Fair Legislation

For Immediate Release

January 5, 2006

********************************

Tell your elected officials that you expect them to demand that Israel not interfere with Palestinian plans to hold elections on January 25, 2006. Palestinians have indicated that they will not proceed with elections if all Palestinians are not allowed the right to vote; Israel
is attempting to block Palestinians in East Jerusalem from voting in the upcoming elections.

A White House official yesterday told the press that Israel should not attempt to bar Palestinians living in East Jerusalem from voting in the upcoming elections. Please take a moment to send our prewritten letter to your elected officials in the House and Senate asking them to support free Palestinian elections and to uphold the premise of one man, one vote.

Tell your representatives that you are appalled that Israel detained eight Palestinian candidates when they began campaigning in Jerusalem. Among the eight were independent candidates and reknowned peace activists, Hanan Ashrawi and Mustafa Barghouti.

Ask your representatives how long they will continue to tolerate Israeli intransigence over international law. Tell your representatives that it is time for them to come out and support an end to occupation and one (or two — your choice BLOGGERS NOTE: Well, technically it’s the Palestinian’s choice. Part of the problem is getting more people to realize this) democratic state for Palestinians and Israelis.
