With the inauguration of President Barack Obama, the AAPER Foundation initiates a public letter calling for the dawn of a new era in U.S. policy toward Israel and Palestine. The letter is neither a symbolic gesture nor a desperate plea, but a Statement of Principles for an American Movement for Palestinian Rights in which we will ask every signatory to participate. As such, it is also an organizing document through which we will identify, inspire and invite the American people to join us. Our objective is to obtain the signatures of 100,000 Americans in President Obama's first 100 days in office and, together, begin to change the course of history.
We ask each of you to take just 5 minutes to read, sign, and, most importantly, forward this letter to your family, friends, neighbors and fellow citizens: www.aaper.org/obamaletter. In addition, we ask each of you who uses Facebook to take just 5 minutes to take the following three simple actions:
1) Join our Facebook Group (http://www.facebook.com/pages/AAPER-Foundation/31138263216) and invite your friends to join;
2) Add our Facebook Application (http://apps.facebook.com/ americaforpalestine) and invite your friends to add it;
3) Donate your Facebook status for at least 3 days to read -- "Donate your status! President Obama: We, the American People, Seek a New U.S. Policy Toward Palestine! Sign the letter at www.aaper.org/obamaletter."
100,000 signatures in 100 days. Change begins with you.
Sincerely,
AAPER Foundation
