This is actually only one of the horrible things in the bill - it also
opposes U.S. withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan.

Subject: Duckworth

Hey all - I know a lot of folks are already on this, but if you have lists
you can quickly forward something to to direct calls to Senator Duckworth
on S.1, see some language you can lift below. She has been getting calls,
feedback on one of them so far is "she has not made known her position on
it, and we'll find out after she votes". Repurposed a national action alert
from an earlier procedural bill for this purpose:



*Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth has voted several times to advance the
bill and is getting pushback for it. A few dozen calls could have an impact
- so today, PLEASE use this form to look up her contact information and use
the suggested script to make a 30 second call. Durbin has been a consistent
opponent of the bill, so if you want to call and thank him for opposing,
that's great too.)*











*Call your senators and tell them to stand up for our First Amendment
rights and protect our right to boycott! Click here for a sample script and
a phone number to call your Senator.

<https://secure.everyaction.com/dYaJwnx1NEGepcFMNruTXA2>]This bill was
prevented from passing three times during the shutdown, thanks to your
mobilizing and the support of allies like the US Campaign for Palestinian
Rights, ACLU, MoveOn, and Indivisible. Democrats rightly refused to support
a wall on the U.S. Mexico border. Now, we need to demand they not switch
sides to attack those of us who oppose Israel's apartheid wall.Call your

<https://secure.everyaction.com/dYaJwnx1NEGepcFMNruTXA2>] .No legislator
should have anything to do with any legislation that opposes human rights
for Palestinians - period. And nobody should support laws that the ACLU has
called unconstitutional. They were already overturned by federal courts in
Kansas and Arizona, and lawsuits are ongoing in Texas and Arkansas. That’s
why Rubio and others who want to stop the growing movement for Palestinian
rights are trying to sneak this legislation through the Senate’s first bill
of the year.This is an underhanded move to push through something we’ve
powerfully fought back against. It’s time to raise your voice now. Join me
and thousands of others across the country and say no to Rubio and yes to
fighting for freedom, justice and equality.Call your senators and tell them
to stand up for our First Amendment rights and protect our right to
