My letter to Senator Chuck Schumer

[DLnyc]

Senator Schumer:

As a constituent, and as a Jew, I write you now to respectfully request that you put the interests of Israelis, Jews and the people of this planet ahead of the interests of AIPAC and the right-wing lunatics, both American and Israeli, who are once again pounding the drums of war.

Speaking for the vast majority of your constituents, of Jews, and of, again, the people of this planet, I say loudly to you that what we need is AN IMMEDIATE AND URGENT CONVENING OF A WORLD-SPONSORED PEACE CONFERENCE INSISTING ON THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION that everyone knows will be the eventual result in the Middle East.

Thank you for valuing the survival of the human race ahead of your political calculations and the fetishistic needs of AIPAC.

Respectfully,

. . .
Longtime Manhattan Democratic Voter and Activist

It makes me proud to know that my constituents take an active role in our government by corresponding with me, and I look forward to responding to your concerns in greater detail. In the meantime, I just wanted to let you know that your e-mail has been received, and to ask for your patience until I send you a more detailed response.

Again, thank you for writing. Please feel free to visit my website http://schumer.senate.gov to follow my work in the Senate and to learn more about the services my office can provide to you.
