My baby done wrote me a letter!

My baby done wrote me a letter!

AIPAC, the Israeli lobby in Washington, is pressuring Congress to "encourage" the President to ratchet down his rhetoric on the settlements and a two state solution. A letter signed by over 300 congressmen "calls on the administration to work “closely and privately” with Israel — in contrast to the current public pressure". That quote was from Politico.

This made me wonder if my congressman Russ Carnahan, signed that letter. He did, but he also signed another letter along with 80+ other congressmen that encourages the President to keep up the good work. The letters are contradictory to be sure, but Carnahan's district covers some pretty diverse territory. He has to be careful and I respect that. Carnahan has a great voting record and I think he is above reproach. And we could always do A LOT WORSE!!

Obama addressed this in his speech in Cairo..."America will align our policies with those who pursue peace, and say in public what we say in private to Israelis and Palestinians and Arabs."
That is a direct message to AIPAC and Congress!!!
