Please see the following letter to the President from VIPAC, and send a copy (or some modified version) to the email address listed below, using a subject line such as:

Stop Funding Palestinian Terror
Stop Paying Terrorists
Not With My Money!
Boycott Terror
Etc....

(The subject line is the most important part, since the letters are tallied by subject, and the totals reported.  The letters themselves rarely make it to the president.)

Dear Mr. President:

You continue to fund the PA and PLO at an annual rate exceeding 200 million dollars each year out of the federal budget.  How can you continue to do so when our own court system has ruled that the PA and PLO are terrorist organizations that must pay for their crimes?

In a July 12 decision, District Court Judge Ronald Lagueux of Rhode Island upheld the findings of Magistrate David Martin, issued March 31, that the PA and PLO provided a safe haven and operational base for Hamas to carry out the shooting death of Yaron Ungar, an American living in the West Bank, and his Israeli wife Efrat Ungar. The Ungars were murdered near Beit Shemesh on June 9, 1996, while driving home from a wedding. They were survived by two young sons, Dvir and Yishai.

Federal Judge Lagueux ordered the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization to pay $116 million to Ungar's family under the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1991, which allows American victims of terrorist attacks overseas to seek damages in US courts.

While the Federal Court imposes fines on the PLO and PA for their terrorist crimes, your administration continues to provide them the funds to pay those fines.  Why, Mr. President?  Why not show real leadership on this issue and end all US funding of the PLO and PA today, and then challenge Senator Kerry to explain why he did not propose this first?

Sincerely,
