Urge Your members of Congress to support security assistance for Israel – call for a strong International Affairs Budget. As the administration prepares next year’s budget proposals in the coming weeks, members of the House and Senate are circulating letters to President Obama urging him to support a strong international affairs budget for fiscal year 2011, including critical security assistance for Israel.
