<p>Robert,</p>
<p>House Speaker John Boehner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu started a firestorm by going behind the President's back to give Netanyahu a bully pulpit in Congress.</p>
<p>But their plan is backfiring. The pushback has been unprecedented, with over 17 Members of Congress pledging to #SkiptheSpeech. And the list is growing every day.</p>
<p><b>Senator Durbin is on the fence</b> <b>--- they need to hear from you today</b>. We have just 3 days before the Congress heads home on recess!</p>
<p>If we can get just 50 constituents in your districts to call, we have a real chance of adding a Representative from Illinois to the growing list of Congresspeople who are going to #SkiptheSpeech.</p>
<p><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=YBuXUJKxb8Vysx%2FamxAQ4OtrwdY06Tjr" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0)"><u><b>Call Senator Durbin</b></u></span><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0)"><u><b> now and let them know you have their back to #SkiptheSpeech. </b></u></span></a></p>
<p>This politically-motivated and inappropriately timed speech is all about what's good for Netanyahu - not Illinois, not diplomacy with Iran, and certainly not Palestinians and Israelis who want a chance to live together with justice.</p>
<p><b>Unless we raise our voices now, Prime Minister Netanyahu will get a high-profile platform on March 3 to promote war— using bigoted rhetoric, deception and outright lies.</b></p>
<p>This is a moment of unprecedented challenge to the unilateral bipartisan support for Israel's policies of endless war, occupation and siege. We need your representative to get off the fence, and make that challenge count.</p>
<p><a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=uS6K0w0R5tHx18UsPFoLH%2BtrwdY06Tjr" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0)"><u><b>Tell </b></u></span><span style="color:rgb(255,102,0)"><u><b><b>Senator Durbin</b> to publicly pledge to skip Netanyahu’s speech before they heads home to Illinois.</b></u></span></a></p>
<p>We need to show our representatives they have our support when they show up for justice, and embolden them to take strong stands against warmongering.</p>
<p>Onward,</p>
