The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

In the hearings, the 21 members (10 Democrats, 11 Republicans) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will ask the nominee questions of considerable depth. I am writing to ask your help - please send us the questions that you would like U.S. Senators to ask David Friedman in the confirmation hearings.? We are confident we can get these questions to the Senators because Rebuilding Alliance has held over a hundred meetings with House and Senate staff in the past two years. Because so many constituents are ready to press this forward, we expect the Senators will follow through and ask. You can send us your questions to DBW@RebuildingAlliance.org Let us know whether we can share your questions, along with your name and organization, with the Senator`s staff. Please also indicate if you are willing to have your questions shared with constituents represented by the Senators on the committee, and on social media. Regardless of whether Mr. Friedman is confirmed, the vetting process itself presents an unparalleled opportunity not only to question the nominee but to also question U.S. and Israeli policy regarding the Israeli Occupation.
