> "Hi, I'm a constituent of Representative X and I strongly urge him/her to vote no or abstain on H.R.4133, the U.S.-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012. The U.S.-Israel military relationship has already grown to unprecedented proportions under the Obama Administration, making us even more deeply complicit in Israel's daily human rights violations of Palestinians living under Israeli military occupation. Rather than enhancing U.S.-Israel military ties, the United States should sanction Israel for violating the Arms Export Control and Foreign Assistance Acts by ending U.S. military aid.  By further deepening U.S.-Israel military ties, the United States is only making a bad situation worse."
