<p>Dear Robert,<br>
<br>
We have a historic opportunity right now to help change the game in Washington on U.S. policy towards Israel. <br>
<br>
Controversy is spreading around Speaker Boehner’s decision to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress on March 3, where Netanyahu is expected to trash Obama’s Iran diplomacy and try to persuade Congress to pass new sanctions. J Street, Americans for Peace Now, and former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren have called for Netanyahu’s talk to be postponed. Netanyahu’s political opposition in Israel is also denouncing his plan to speak to Congress only weeks before the Israeli election. [1] <br>
<br>
Now, Reps. Keith Ellison, Steve Cohen, and Maxine Waters are circulating a letter to Speaker Boehner, asking him to postpone the invitation until after Congress has considered the issue of Iran sanctions. [2]<br>
<br>
<b>Call Rep. Mike Quigley NOW at <a href="tel:%28202%29%20225-4061" value="+12022254061" target="_blank">(202) 225-4061</a> and say</b></p>
<blockquote>I urge you to sign the Ellison letter calling on Speaker Boehner to postpone the Israeli Prime Minister's address to Congress until after Congress has concluded its consideration of new Iran sanctions.</blockquote>
<p><b>When you’re done, please report your call here:</b><br>
