If your Congressperson isn't on the list, give them a call and ask why.
And in other Academic Boycott news, according to Avi Mayer, who has been diligently tracking the academic world's repudiation of the fringe ASA resolution, as of today 213 universities have renounced the boycott of Israeli academic institutions.
I was hoping Barbara Lee would be on board. Do you think she's open-minded enough to be swayed by a phone call/email?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of flying pigs right now, but hey, lets give it a shot. I will too. If enough of her constituency give her this sort of feed back, maybe- just maybe- we can sway her.
