Support Gaza Flotilla Resolution before SF Board of Supervisors

Please call, email, fax or send US mail to all 11 supervisors demanding they support this important milestone resolution as $6 billion from the US taxpayers supports this US military base called Israel to protect US oil profits in the Middle East.
