AAF's letter
The United States
says that it is committed to promoting democracy. If that is indeed the case,
it is inappropriate for Members of Congress to advance legislation that would
punish and isolate people through draconian economic and diplomatic measures
when the result of an election is not to the liking of the United States.
That is why the
following organizations—the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the
American Friends Service Committee, the Council for the National Interest,
Global Exchange, Jewish Voice for Peace, Middle East Children’s Alliance,
Partners for Peace, Pax Christi USA, Peace Action Wisconsin, Progressive
Democrats of America, Tikkun, and the US Campaign to End the Israeli
Occupation—are joining together in a coordinated national campaign to oppose
H.R.4681, the Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006.
