SAMPLE SCRIPT:
Hi, my name is [name] from [hometown],
[state]. As a pro-Israel, pro-peace constituent and
member of Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, I urge you to support President
Obama's Middle East peace initiatives by:

provisions of the Supplemental Budget.

possible Palestinian unity government.

Support the President’s
Diplomatic Initiatives in the Middle East!
Dear Friend of Brit Tzedek,
As American Jews and friends, we have a very exciting
opportunity to support the President of the United States in his
efforts to promote a pro-Israel, pro-peace agenda! We now
have a president whose Middle East agenda is in line with the
majority American Jewish opinion, which supports a two-state
solution and diplomatic engagement, and so now is the time to
act!
Call your Senators and Representatives today and urge them to
back the President's Middle East peace efforts! Tell them
to support Obama's request for supplemental aid to the
Palestinians and to support Obama's approach to engaging with a
possible Palestinian unity government.
Finally,
tell Congress to support Obama's efforts to engage
diplomatically with Iran by rejecting initiatives to impose new
sanctions and rejecting efforts to impose impractical timelines
to engage diplomatically with Iran.
L’shalom,
Sue Swartz, Chair of Advocacy
Deepa Domansky, Washington Liaison and Advocacy
Coordinator
