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

Tue Apr 21 13:48:54 EDT 2015

I called his office this morning and left a message and then as luck would
have it, he just sent out a "100 days" survey which allowed me a comment
box to state my opposition in writing. NIloofar suggests a third way and
probably the most effective. Who knows; take your pick but do something.
