You probably don't know the name but if you care about the United States, Israel, Jerusalem, and the war against the terrorists Congressman Mike Pence is one of our champions. I first met him at a small roundtable discussion in Berlin after 9/11. The Crown Prince of Jordan was in attendance as were several other dignitaries. Mike was a standout then as he is today.
I spent some time with him today, so I could thank him for his good work. He greeted me with his latest piece of legislation H. RES. 279. He is co-sponsoring this important piece of legislation with a Democrat colleague Brian Higgins. (Mike, though a young man, is in the Republican leadership), The legislation condemns the British Association of University Teachers for voting to boycott Bar-Ilan and Hafia Universities. They have a diverse group of co-sponsors and they are looking for more. Urge your congressional representatives to sign on.
It is all too rare to find principled politicians so it is a pleasure to bring one to your attention. When he disagrees with his own party he votes his conscience. And on the issue of Israel he is a stalwart supporter. It was a pleasure spending some time catching up and talking about how we can work together to attain our common goals.
keep up the good work on behalf of the only ally that we have in the middle east.

Dear Congressman Pence,
I am a Messianic Jew and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support of Israel. My family and I are planning to make Aliyah or move to Israel in the next 3 years. Please keep fighting for our little country that so many, including our President, seem to be against.
Thank you and may the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob bless you and yours always!!
Shalom

Congressman Pence,
Do you think there is any possibility you could help President Bush develop a correct perspective on Israel? We never dreamed when electing him that he would be so blind about the current issues. Thank you for making sound decisions and supporting Israel in difficult times. You are in my prayers. Shalom, Patricia Roudebush

Congressman Pence, G-d has sent men like you to
represent goodness and honor in this world. You
are needed to help in that task. America is greater because of you and tiny Israel welcomes
your friendship.

What a good guy and how surprising. I urge this Congressman to get my Congressional delegation (Weiner, McCarthy, Ackerman) to get on board immediately. This was a disgrace but we have it right in NYC at Columbia University...and where is our delegation on that? All should see Columbia Unbecoming. Thanks Congressman, wish I could vote for you!

I urge Christians (especially spirit-filled and evangelical)to sit down with Jewish leaders and finally have a sitdown and find some common ground. There is now reason for any anti-semitism from born-again christians not an ounce!!! It's time we bind ourselves in unity because this world is growing ever so hostile to us and it doesn't seem to be letting up. We need to hold our politicians accountable for not standing ground against a growing hatred for Jews and Christians in this country, Europe and the UN. Enough is enough!!

Dear Congressman Pence,
I want to thank you for supporting Israel. We need more in congress who will do that. Please accept my deepest gratitude for giving them support in our congress, and across party lines.
We need more congressmen and women like you.
God bless you.

I am not computer literate-I don't know what url stands for.
I agree with the Senator regarding Israel. I do not like the pressure put on Israel by the US and Arab world. I doubt that the Arabs want peace-They engage in polemics. Non-Jews in America know nothing about Israel except what the press presents- it is negative on the whole. Intelligent people do not demonstrate respect at all towards Israel. They say, in essence, that Israel is inflexible-I do not think that they like Israel (and Jews) at all. Yes, the Holy Land-Christians; Moslems: the Kotel. How very sick and stupid people are. Same old anti Semitism. Sick........

I've been following Pence over the past couple of years and believe he's the real deal. He's taken tough stands against his own party and President Bush when it went against his principles. We appreciate his leadership in supporting Israel and his strong line against the PLA and terrorists. Keep an eye on this guy.
