[Peace] Fwd: Please urge IL Sen. Scott Bennett to oppose anti-boycott legislation

Tue Apr 21 13:12:24 EDT 2015

*Urgent!* I just called Senator Bennet's office. His aid said the bill
hasn't come to the floor yet. He suggested that I go to Bennet's website
and express my opposition as he would then be able to take written
oppositions to the floor.* Please post your opposition on his website. *

indeed very similar to Christianity; but, in matters of rituals and rules,
it’s more similar to Judaism. Like Judaism, it is a complete way of
life with specific rules on worship, family life, societal rules, as well
as punishments for straying from “the Straight Path.”

Dear Robert,

Yesterday, acting on reports that a vote could be imminent, we asked you to
call your Representative in the Illinois House against HB4011, a bill that
would legitimize the de-facto Israeli annexation of the West Bank by
cutting off state contracts with companies that boycott Israeli settlements
in the West Bank. As it turned out, there was no vote in the House
yesterday. Friday is the deadline for the bill to pass or fail in the
current legislative session.

*There is a companion to the House bill in the State Senate, SB1761.* So
today, we ask you to make one more call to keep these bills from becoming
law.

*Call Sen. Scott Bennett NOW at (217) 782-2507 <%28217%29%20782-2507> and
say:*

I urge Sen. Scott Bennett to oppose SB1761. The bill would legitimize the
de-facto Israeli annexation of the West Bank by cutting off state contracts
with companies that boycott Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

 When you're done, *report your call here:*

Boycotting Israeli settlements in the West Bank as a means of protesting
the Israeli occupation has wide political support in the US and
internationally, including by Peace Now (Shalom Achshav) in Israel and
Americans for Peace Now in the US, Jewish Voice for Peace, and the
Presbyterian Church, and United Methodist Church in the US. Any private
Israeli entity that wants to receive funding from the European Union must
demonstrate that it has no links to the West Bank.

*Tell Sen. Scott Bennett to oppose SB1761 by calling (217) 782-2507
<%28217%29%20782-2507> now.*

* If you can't call, sign our petition at MoveOn here:*
