| *** LEGISLATIVE ACTION ALERT!!! *** Momentum Building to Halt Aid to Egypt COUNTER HILLARY CLINTON'S U.S. AID REQUEST FOR EGYPT! Dear Lee, Last week, we sent out an urgent Action Alert asking you to register opposition to any kind of taxpayer funded assistance for either Egypt or Libya. We did this to send a message that we will not reward countries that do not prevent or forcibly condemn attacks on our embassies. We will not accept delayed and weak responses to those heinous attacks by the leadership of those countries. As we noted in a follow-up e-mail, the calls have been coming in and your voice is being heard by those that represent you in Washington, DC. This is what grassroots strength is all about and again we thank you. First, we have good news to report. Yesterday's Washington Post reports that the violent anti-American protests in Egypt and elsewhere have "temporarily halted talks about a proposed $1 billion in debt relief and how to speed millions in other aid to Egypt, according to several U.S. officials." See the full article HERE. That said, it has been reported that later this week Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be up on Capitol Hill to ask legislators to continue sending the billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid (YOUR hard-earned taxpayer dollars) to Egypt and other countries exhibiting violent protests against our embassies. To counter Secretary Clinton's funding pitch to the U.S. Congress, we are asking you to once again place calls to the federal legislators listed below. We ask that you register your opposition to any U.S. tax dollars being sent to these countries that are currently hostile toward our nation. Let them know that you do not support funding our enemies. ** ACTION ITEM ** Please take a moment once today to call the numbers listed below. Tell these federal legislators respectfully, but firmly, that you are opposed to U.S. taxpayer dollars going toward ANY military funding for Egypt or Libya until they demonstrate that they are true allies of the United States.
REMEMBER, YOUR VOICE COUNTS! IF EACH OF US DOES JUST A LITTLE, TOGETHER WE CAN ACCOMPLISH A LOT!
