Stop the treason

US reps have voted every year for decades to set aside $3.3 billion for the Israeli government. American opinions about this money are changing dramatically--especially as Republicans threaten to cut payments to US citizens for basic needs and services like healthcare.

To keep Americans in the dark, Republicans have snuck Israel’s multibillion-dollar payments into their must-pass National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

Section 1217 of the NDAA, on its way to the Senate automates payment of billions of our tax dollars to Israel without Congressional oversight.

This is treasonous, plane and simple. We need to make sure that this so-called Israel military merging provision -- Section 1217-– comes out before the Senate vote or the bill is not passed.


The only way to stop this is to make a ton of noise ASAP!


Call your Senators: 202-224-3121

This constituent demands that you Block, Stop and Oppose Section 1217 of the NDAA before voting on the NDAA. No to $3.3 billion to Israel. No merging our military and No funding to foreign countries while defunding care of US citizens!


Senators shouldn't support measures that give Israel-or any country-leverage over US defense priorities or that make it extremely difficult to track and regulate US financial support for Israel. I expect the Senator to oppose Section 1217, and ask them to vote against the NDAA if Section 1217 remains in the bill. Also, vote No on the $3.3 billion in security assistance for Israel.


We have very little time, so please hit the phone and share far and wide.
