[Peace-discuss] call Rep. Ammons against Illinois anti-boycott bill?

[Robert Naiman]

Her Springfield office number is (217) 558-1009.

The bill number is HB4011.

The bill is here:

http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=&SessionId=88&GA=99&DocTypeId=HB&DocNum=4011&GAID=13&LegID=90228&SpecSess=&Session=

This bill is extreme. It would direct the state to cut off contracts with
any company that "boycotts Israel." "Boycotts Israel" is defined to include
"territories controlled by the State of Israel." Thus, a company that
stopped selling products produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank
would be subject to sanctions by the state of Illinois.

Friday is the end of the current legislative session, so if this bill is
going to be passed in the current session, it has to be voted on by Friday.

Urge Rep. Ammons to vote no. Have the staffer record your name and address.
It takes less time to call than it took me to write this email.

(217) 558-1009.
