Chris:
Your vote today to support H RES 34 was VERY disappointing.
While the wording was (deliberately) innocuous you know in your heart that was a vote to turn a blind eye on the atrocities Israel is committing in Gaza. To think that you have only been there two years and you are already afraid of AIPAC; its a real shame.
You are treading a fine line, perhaps one you don't care about anymore, and are dangerously close to losing the support of the NetRoots who were responsible for your first election.
Peace

Can he or will he. This remains to be seen.
“Either continue with the status quo of a low-level peace process on the back burner, or turn the current crisis into an opportunity to redefine American foreign policy and achieve a settlement."
