URGENT ACTION ALERT from Unity Coalition for Israel

URGENT ACTION ALERT from Unity Coalition for Israel


This URGENT ACTION ALERT supports an extremely important legislative bill sponsored by Senator Arlen Specter, with six other Senators as co-sponsors. Called the Saudi Arabia Accountability Act of 2005 - S. 1171 is probably the most significant bill on terrorism yet and deserves to receive unanimous endorsement from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where it now resides.

To quote the Weekly Standard of June 7th,

"The bill's text stands as an indictment of Saudi Arabia, an inventory of evidence against the role of its rulers in enabling terrorism. The Council on Foreign Relations concluded almost three years ago that Saudi Arabia is the main source of al-Qaeda backing and that Saudi officials have refused to take serious action to end it. David Aufhauser, former general counsel of the Treasury Department, called the Saudi state the "epicenter" of global terror financing. The Saudis have also subsidized half the annual budget of Hamas. The bill provides for sanctions, including a bar on exporting special military technology to the kingdom and restriction on travel by Saudi diplomats in the U.S."

Your response to this ACTION ALERT will request that your Senator sign on to this critically urgent bill.
URGENT ACTION ALERT to Impact US Policy

CLICK HERE to send the following message to your Senators, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, President Bush, Prime Minister Sharon. Please change the wording if you would like to personalize it. It is much more effective if you paraphrase the letter, using your own wording. If your Senator has already co-sponsored the Bill, please add a "thank you" note to your message expressing your appreciation.

Dear Senator,

Please co-sponsor the Senate Bill S1171 to stop Saudi Arabia in support of terror.

I respectfully ask that you join in this long-delayed need to explore, in great deal, all aspects of Saudi involvement in this deadly battle for world domination. We look to the Congress to defend our freedoms and our livelihood.

Since 9/11, when 15 of the 19 suicide bombers attacked the United States, it has been increasingly apparent that Saudia Arabia has been the hub of an international terrorism network providing both training and financial support. I applaud the Senators who are finally willing to examine closely the Saudi connection to much of the world's terrorism.

I appreciate your courage and dedication to the critical needs of our country.

Signed,

For the sake of National Unity, this President should be charged for aiding and abeting our enemy, Saudi Arabia. Certainly, our intelligence, our State Dept. knew that the Saudis were funding al Quaida terrorist and kept this information from US and Israeli citizens.Bush then pressured PM Sharon, who is too weak to resist, to order the evacuation Israel's people to leave their homes in Gaza and the West Bank that they have lived in for up to thirty years. The most stupid idea is that the Palestinians and Israeli's could live next to each other in peace. The Palastinians and all of the other Arabs only want the total destruction of Israel and to kill as many as possible. Realize that with Israel gone, they have occupied Europe with millions and it will soon be Islamic. After that happens, the citizens here better learn Arabic.

Saudi Arabia Accountability!

(IsraelNN.com)----> Prince Saud Al-Faisal, the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia, praised the decision of US President George W. Bush to once again delay the implementation of the decision of the US government to move its embassy to Jerusalem.

"The embassy's movement is a recognition of Israeli fait accompli which is **not wanted by anyone.** Consequently, returning the U.S. policy to the previous position is welcomed," Al-Faisal to the Saudi news agency.

Contact the White House and ask them what they are up to and who exactly they are working for!

Why do you think Bush is now pushing for the immediate building of more nuclear power stations?
Even Bush realises that he cannot throw Israel to the wolves of Islam, for barrels of oil.
Was one of the main reasons for Bush's invasion of Iraq simply the removal of Military threat form Saudi Arabia?
What is the real price of American Oil when one includes the costs of counter terrorism funded by the American dollar?

george....excuse me
"Saudi Arabia had been restricted by the US from deploying F-15s at Tabuq to minimize friction with Israel. But the US, which sold the planes to the Saudis in 1991, lifted that restriction as a modest concession in return for Saudi approval for overflights for US aircraft and missiles striking Iraq."

Saudis move F-15s near Israel's border
