Speak out my friends...

Dear Friends,

Have you heard the horrific news? The Israeli Navy has killed and wounded dozens of brave humanitarian aid activists who were aboard ships that were carrying humanitarian aid to the 1.5 million people in Gaza who are living under an Israeli-imposed siege. I just signed a CODEPINK petition asking Obama to join other Nobel Prize laureates in condemning the killing of the international humanitarian activists. Will you join me in signing onto this call to Obama to be a real leader?

Follow this link to sign the call now: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/424/t/10579/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=2286


Sincerely,

Afzal Azad
