The other day, Minnesotans gathered outside Senator Amy Klobuchar's office demanding to meet with her, and influence her regarding the Gaza strip crisis. After they occupied a conference room at the State Capitol, Senator Klobuchar agreed to meet with them.
I will write, though it is a small influence to make on someone else who has a small influence in this matter. But we all can do this, we all can add our influence.
Dear Senator Klobuchar,
Happy new year!
I write so that you can add another humanitarian to the demographic of your constituency.
Please also note that you can help change the US' arms deals with Israel in the Senate. This is very important as we in the US hear of more and more horrors that Israel commits against starving Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, with jets and weapons imported from the US.
This week, a humanitarian relief ship called the Dignity was trying to bring international advocates and food to the Gaza Strip, when it was surrounded by the Israeli navy, rammed and damaged. Fortunately a journalist from CNN was on board.That's how I found out about it, and I hope you too will learn more, & meet with the Minnesotans outside your door who come to tell of horrible things happening in the Middle East. We CAN end our complicity in them!
Thank you.
