Mark Dankof’s America May 8, 2013 |
Mark was joined by Lisa Webb who covered the Texas-Israel Day of May 8th, sponsored at the State Capitol of Austin by the Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce which may be accessed at www.texasisrael.org.
Like so many U.S. politicians and Presidents, Texas lawmakers have taken “legislative trips to Israel” for years. On March 21 2013, they passed H.R. 44, “Commending Israel for its cordial and mutually beneficial relationship with the United States and the State of Texas and supporting Israel in its legal, historical, moral, and God-given right of self-governance and self-defense.”
The two Texas state lawmakers who are spearheading the proclamation of the “Texas-Israel Day” Resolution can be reached here:
Stefani Carter can be reached in Austin, TX at (512) 463-0454 Fax: (512) 463-1121 or Richardson, (972) 661-9649 , (972) 661-9679 and Fax (972) 661-1338. Her e-mail is Stefani.Carter@house.state.
John Carona can be reached by e-mail at the Texas Senate web site at http://www.senate.
No word on whether the TX Reps will proclaim a U.S.S. Liberty Day, Lavon Affair Day, Jonathan Pollard Day, Rachel Corrie Day, PROMIS Affair Day, or a ‘Dancing Israelis Day’ to follow up on today’s Texas-Israel celebration in Austin. . . .
