CUFI Celebrates House Vote
Tuesday, the House of Representatives passed the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act by an overwhelming margin of 412-12. Our Congressmen have spoken, and they have sent Iran a clear message that there will be a steep economic price to pay for their illegal pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Christians United for Israel has been a leading supporter of this legislation. Through our visits to Capitol Hill and our e-mail action alerts, we have made it clear to Congress that America’s Christians support tough economic sanctions against Iran. And Congress has listened.
Congratulations to all of you who have supported CUFI in this effort. This is an important victory, and you helped;to make it happen!
Nehemiah told those helping him rebuild the walls of Jerusalem that “the work is extensive and spread out, and we are widely separated from each other along the wall. Whenever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. We heard the sound of the trumpet, and we came together in action. Our efforts have been blessed.
Of course, our work is far from over. The bill moves next to the Senate. We will be watching this legislation closely and will let you know when we need your help to ensure that it passes the Senate by the widest possible margin. And we will continue to provide you with other opportunities to speak out against Iran’s threats and aggression, such as our petition to indict Iran’s President Ahmadinejad for incitement to genocide.
Thank you for your support of CUFI and Israel. Together, we are making a difference.
Blessings to you and those you love.
