> In response to Israel’s use of American-made cluster bombs in  
> heavily populated areas of Lebanon, Senators Feinstein and Leahy  
> introduced legislation that would require recipients of such  
> munitions not to use them in or near civilian centers. The Cluster  
> Munitions Amendment failed 30-70, with the majority of Democrats in  
> favor and all Republicans opposed. The Democrats opposed were:
>
> Bayh-IN, Biden-DE, Clinton-NY, Dodd-CT, Inouye-HI, Landrieu-LA,  
> Lautenberg-NJ, Lieberman-CT, Lincoln-AR, Nelson-FL, Nelson-NE,  
> Pryor-AR, Rockefeller-WV, Salazar-CO, Schumer-NY.
>
> In addition to the terrible suffering caused by these weapons, this  
> was an important vote because of the general reluctance of Senators  
> to vote for anything that could be interpreted as "anti-Israel."  
> The fact that 30 Senators voted yes is an important victory on  
> which we should build.

> If your Senator opposed the legislation, please express your  
> opposition to their vote and encourage them to support such  
> legislation in the future using this link. If your Senator voted  
> for this legislation, please thank them for their vote and  
> encourage them to continue to press for its passage using this  
> link. The roll call showing how Senators voted is here. (For recent  
> press coverage of this issue, see here.)

> Thank you for your actions in support of reforming U.S. foreign  
> policy.
