Handout from CAMERA
 
Here's a helpful handout with activism ideas that CAMERA distributes at many pro-Israel events.  It provides easy ways for people to get involved in activism.  We've always gotten excellent feedback about the handout, as well as many new members for our nationwide letter-writing team. It can easily be adapted to include your own group's info.
 
HOW TO HELP ISRAEL EVERY WEEK
(from www.camera.org )

*Contact the White House and/or your reps
at least once a week regarding Israel. Go to www.aipac.org and click on
"Take Action." By just filling in your name and address, letters regarding recent legislation will be automatically sent to your senators and congressman.
It's so important for them to hear that Israel's security matters to their constituents.

*Also consider calling or emailing the White House with general comments.  For example, thank President Bush for his continued support of Israel's war against terrorism.  Keep your comments to one or two very clear sentences that are easy to tally as "support Israel."
