[Note: UJP is asking people to attend this meeting and to raise questions to Rep. Markey, to question the hyper-activity around Iran's nuclear program - ignoring the fact that Israel already has nuclear weapons, and Iran doesn't, and is not currently developing nuclear weapons. The focus on Iran is a diversionary tactic to divert our attention away from the plight of the Palestinians - this is part of the propaganda campaign of the Israeli government. We need to keep the focus on the oppression of the Palestinians, the evictions, the demolition of their houses, the ongoing building of settlements, the situation in Gaza. - Ed.]
Congressman Edward Markey has represented the people of Massachusetts' 7th district for more than thirty years and chairs the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming as well as the Energy and Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Energy and Environment. He is one of the lead authors of the landmark Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act, which passed the House at the end of June and is now pending before the Senate. In the face of the growing threat of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons, Congressman Markey will address our community about the dire security threats created by a nuclear Iran and why nuclear proliferation threatens the United States, Israel and the entire Middle East. Please join us for this important community forum!
