Call to action from our friends at the Indianapolis JCRC

Thank your Senators and Representatives for their support, and urge them to approve emergency funding for Iron Dome.

As the conflict in Gaza and Israel continues, the importance of the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system for Israel and her people grows. In order to continue to protect innocent civilians in Israel from rocket fire, Israel will need additional support from the United States.

In the House, Reps. Eliot Engel (D-NY) and Ed Royce (R-CA) introduced the Emergency Iron Dome Replenishment Act (H.R. 5235), stand-alone legislation to provide this assistance. In the Senate, the Emergency Supplemental Funding Bill (S. 2648), which is primarily designed to address issues at America's border
with Mexico, includes $225 million for Iron Dome. We expect both to come
up for a vote this week.

We ask you to contact your Representative and Senators ASAP, thank them for their continued support and urge them to become cosponsors and vote for these important pieces of legislation. You can be connected to your Congressperson and Senators through the U.S. Capital Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Sample Phone Script:
"I am calling the Representative/Senator to urge him/her to cosponsor and vote for legislation authorizing additional funding for the Iron Dome anti-missile defense system. Iron Dome is protecting the lives of innocent Israeli citizens, and America must continue to stand with Israel and her people as they face the barrage of missiles being fired from Gaza. Thank you for your support for additional funding for Iron Dome."
