CONDEMN ISRAEL - YET ANOTHER SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS RESOLUTION

On June 9th, 2010, San Francisco City Supervisors John Avalos, David Campos, Chris Daly and Sophie Maxwell introduced a resolution savagely condemning Israel’s interdiction of the Gaza Flotilla, and calling for President Obama to work to end the "siege on Gaza".


It's up for a vote by the board next week:
Tuesday June 15th, 2PM - 4PM.


Meddling in international affairs is typical of San Francisco.
But if San Francisco is going to rampage all over the purview of the US State Department, surely the SF Board of Supervisors should be aware that there might be consequences?


As a future voter in David Chiu's district, I have an interest in seeing him do the right thing.


Here's the contact data of our supervisors.
If you call them, be polite to the phone-staff and MAKE SURE that they will take the message.
