116 Members of Congress Sign Critical Letter

March 11, 2011

116 members of Congress signed a congressional letter to President Obama, led by Representatives Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) and Anna Eshoo (CA-14), in support of the Administration’s efforts to maintain current levels of foreign aid to Israel and the Palestinian Authority.  The letter is signed by nearly 60 percent of the Democratic caucus, including Representatives Howard Berman (CA-28), Henry Waxman (CA-30), Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), Barney Frank (MA-04), Rosa DeLauro (CT-03), and Chris Van Hollen (MD-08). It urges President Obama to use this critical moment in the Middle East as an opportunity to reaffirm the United States’ leadership in pursuit of a two-state resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Thank you and congratulations to the hundreds of J Street activists who lobbied in support of the letter in March as part of J Street’s second national conference and met with over 200 congressional offices.
