When Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD-4) came under attack from the right-wing for her pro-Israel, pro-peace views on Israel and the Middle East, JStreetPAC members pitched in to defend her.
Over 600 JStreetPAC members contributed over $30,000 to Rep. Edwards reelection campaign in under a week - and contributions are still coming in.
Congresswoman Donna Edwards recorded a special thank you video message to JStreetPAC members that you can view on your right.

Following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of a full settlement freeze, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that President Obama "wants to see a stop to settlements - not some settlements, not outposts, not natural-growth exceptions."
Amen. A freeze means a freeze. This is exactly the sort of leadership we need from the President and Secretary of State if we are going to achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - the only way to truly secure Israel's future as a Jewish, democratic homeland.
You can bet the Obama Administration is already hearing from hawkish voices on Israel - urging him to make exceptions, allow for more settlement growth, and to go slow. We've got to make sure the President knows pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans support his strong line on settlements, for both Israel's and America's sake and security. Send a message to the President here in support of his "Freeze means Freeze" approach to Israeli settlements.
