| URGENT KNESSET UPDATE | ||
|
Tomorrow and the next day (Tuesday and Wednesday) there will be the vote on the law which will close the ridiculous criminal cases against 1500 Orange demonstrators. "Halevai" that the actions of the Orange demonstrators, in perhaps blocking traffic for a few moments or in possibly spontaneously pushing a policeman to prevent him from improperly beating up someone, and so forth, should be the Israel's justice system's main problem (what happened to rape, drugs, traffic accidents, terror attacks, family violence, and organized crime??). Good news: The law is widely supported by many Knesset members on left and on right. The main problem is, though, that Olmert is pressuring some of the law's supporters, so we need to call these MKs RIGHT NOW -- or this evening, or latest tomorrow morning (Tuesday morning) in order to very politely ask them to please vote FOR the law tomorrow and the next day. Please specifically say that you heard that Olmert is doing a "targil parliamentari" aimed to push off the vote until after the chagim (by that time, Olmert will think of another excuse to put it off even more...) and ask each MK not to let Olmert do that. Do not let the MKs persuade you that actually the above is not the factual situation. Keep insisting, pleasantly of course, that you are absolutely sure that the right thing to do is to vote for this law tomorrow (in the Vaadat haKnesset) and the next day (in the Knesset melia=plenary). Here are the MKs that are being pressured by Olmert (+ telephone and fax numbers to the best of our knowledge): Yakov Margy from Shas Tel: 02-6753840/1 fax: 02-6753759 David Azulay from Shas -- Tel: 02-6753830/1 fax: 02-6753908 Nissim Zeev from Shas 050-5411752 : 02-6496549 Please remember to thank the above 3 for their work for Eretz Yisrael on other occasions Robert Ilatov from Yisrael Beytenu Tel: 02-6753464 fax 02-6753689 Esterina Tertman from Yisrael Beytenu 0504 979797 Yizhkak Galanti from the Pensioners Party Tel: 02-6408308/7 fax : 02-6753750 Moshe Sharoni from the Pensioners party , fax 02-6753196 Shai Hermesh from Kadima Tel: 02- - 9 Avigdor Yizhaki from Kadima 054-6788001 Many thanks to all of us who will be manning the phones and faxes and simultaneously -- Good Luck to Today's Marchers to Homesh!!
