This is urgent.
There are attempts on the left to derail the nomination of David Friedman as US Ambassador to Israel. His nomination has not yet passed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Without any delay, if you are a US citizen with a US address, please email the key Senators below that have an asterisk in front of their names. If you are a constituent of any one of these Senators, email him as well, indicating that you are a constituent.
Please follow instructions on what to say – it is different for the Republicans and Democrats. No lectures. No long or impassioned speeches.
Pass this to as many others as possible and ask them to do the same. The numbers count.
Majority Republicans
Urge the Senators to approve David Friedman, whom President Trump has nominated as ambassador to Israel.
Say that Friedman has given assurances that he will serve at the pleasure of the president.
