Brave Enough to Make a Stand

“Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children. And if you don’t help us, who else in the world can help us do this?”

Six brave congressional representatives heeded Camus’ call.

Dennis Kucinich [OH-10], William Lacy Clay [MO-1], Sam Farr [CA-17], Bob Filner [CA-51], Eleanor Holmes Norton [D-DC at large], and Barbara Lee [CA-9] took a stand on June 24, 2011 by taking unprecedented action in congress.

Last month one lone Congressman, Dennis Kucinich [OH-10], wrote a letter to Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, expressing his concern for the safety of Americans aboard the U.S. ship The Audacity of Hope. He asked that she do everything in her power to work with the Israeli Government to ensure the safety of U.S. citizens. View Kucinich Letter to Clinton

This was noted as a historic act, being the first time members of Congress publicly expressed concern for the safety of U.S. citizens participating in the International Flotilla.

Congressman Kucinich requested all members of congress sign his June 24, 2011 letter. Shockingly, only six members of congress stepped up to the call to support nonviolent, civically engaged citizens, acting within international humanitarian and human rights law.

Just Say No to Hillary. Please take action today!

Become a signatory on this letter of thanks and acknowledgment.

This letter will be sent to the six congress members who made a stand for U.S. citizens and global human rights. Note, a copy will also be sent to non-signing representatives.

Thank you for being one of the powerful!

Please help spread the word.
