Please sign the petition calling for an Israel Accountability Act. We are
sending this to several hundred thousand Americans and we want to greet
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon when he comes to the White House on
April 14th with a large number of petitions to the President!

Don¹t just sign this petition, but share it with others!

> One of the great things the Internet allows organizations to do is raise
> money. Any organization can easily and quickly set up a secure online
> payment facility and then sit back and watch the money pour in.
> 
> And there are the big success stories that inspire one to believe that it
> really is this easy. First Howard Dean, and later John Kerry, succeeded in
> raising millions and millions of dollars from a very large number of
> people who donated online.
> 
> The experience of unions has been somewhat different . . .

> I'd like to invite you to read -- and comment upon -- a short article I've
