I received an e-mail stating radical anti- Palestine activists were showing up at the Annual Capitol Township meeting. IT STATED::
As your elected Sangamon County Clerk, I am privileged to also serve as the Clerk of Capital Township. I am writing to make you aware of the annual township meeting next week and urge Capital Township Republicans to attend.
A radical group of citizens is proposing an advisory ballot question that insults and threatens our country's longstanding friendship and alliance with Israel.
The question asks, "Shall the United States federal government and subordinate divisions stop giving military funding to Israel, which currently costs taxpayers 3.8 billion dollars a year, given Israel's global recognition as an apartheid regime with a track record of human rights violations?"
Capital Township Government has absolutely nothing to do with Foreign Policy. As a community, we should reject these meaningless hyper-political ballot questions that have no purpose or effect except to divide and inflame the community.
American support for Israel is grounded in shared values and historical ties. As Republicans, we recognize Israel's significance as a beacon of democracy. Over the years, Israel has proven to be a steadfast ally, aligning with American interests and values of freedom, prosperity, and law. Our partnership has yielded many significant benefits.
We must come together to reject this misguided proposal. Please make every effort to attend the meeting on April 9th and encourage fellow Republicans to join us in rejecting this referenda question and standing up for one of our proven and strongest allies in Israel.
Wonderful news! We showed up and defeated the Measure! To God Be the Glory!!
The nation is like a mighty lion; When it is sleeping, no one dares wake it. Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed, And whoever curses Israel will be cursed.”
Other municipalities, including Bolingbrook, Bridgeview, Villa Park and Urbana, have passed similar resolutions in recent weeks.
