TAKE ACTION:  Flotilla to Gaza

Below is a message related to the flotilla of peace. The boat mentioned in the message is the same one that I think Kathy Kelly, Col. Ann Wright, Alice Walker, Media Benjamin, and others are on. There are other ships that are part of the flotilla that have departed. An Arab ship from Jordan is to also join today. There is a spot in the Mediterranean where the ships from various countries are to meet in the final attempt to sail to Gaza and break the siege. Please call the U.S. State Department and ask them to allow the ship to sail. Yesterday I sent out info about the ship from Alice walker. The plea below echos a message I also received last night from Col Ann Wright urging supporters to call the State Department. 

Thanks,
Dan

Via Kevin Clark: Greta Berlin who is with the US boat to Gaza writes "Greek government trying to stop us from leaving (read that to really mean the US and Israel), but they could not stop at least three boats from already going. Call the state department and demand that they let us sail. 202 647 4000. Ask for Hillary Clinton office."
