Sign petition demanding full disclosure for Israel bonds!


Dear Miriam,

Did you know that more than 75 U.S. states and municipalities are invested
in Israel bonds, which are used to fund illegal settlement construction in
violation of U.S. and international law? More than $1 billion in Israel
bonds were sold in the U.S. last year alone!

The Development Corporation of Israel (DCI), the American corporation which
sells these bonds to states, municipalities, individuals, and organizations,
is required by U.S. federal law to report all "material facts" about such
securities to buyers -- i.e. all facts that could enable an average investor
to make an informed investment decision. But rather than disclosing that
Israel bonds are used to fund illegal settlement expansion and apartheid
policies, DCI misleads investors by benignly characterizing securities'
sales as used for "general purposes of the state."

SIGN
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=cPqOkEnJchJzRE9qHoYsF7GAat03FO
FL> THIS PETITION urging the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to
enforce U.S. law by demanding that DCI fully disclose how Israel bonds are
used to violate Palestinian rights!

FL> Break the Bonds has led a ground-breaking campaign calling on their
state to divest from Israel bonds. They know that many states and other
entities might not invest in these bonds if the full implications and risks
of such investments were public. It's the SEC's job to ensure such
disclosure, and we need your help to make sure they do it!

Please
<http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1AjBcRGHVH%2BBi7fSO3LlVrGAat03
FOFL> sign this petition to the SEC today!
