$622,000,000 to aid Israeli Military

We want the President Obama to amend the NDAA bill appropriating these funds to the Israeli Military.

Why is this important?

The issue in Gaza can be seen in many Americans eyes as an oppression of a people. The passing of this bill marks an acceptance of this oppression. Countless innocent human lives have been brutally laid to rest by the hands of the Israelis. I don't feel our hard earned tax money should be appropriated to aid this in any sort of way; plan and simple. Please urge our President to take this off the table within the NDAA.
