I am writing to request that you take some action, and write a letter (or letters).

Links to the addresses of elected government officials, and templates for two sample letters are included at the end of this email.

I suspect by the title of the email, that you already know the nature of this letter. If not, please refer to any news source of your choice. Here's one:

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11484804/

On September 11th- of the 19 hijackers who attacked the US, 2 were citizens of the United Arab Emirates. ALL of the money to finance the September 11th attacks was funneled through United Arab Emirates banks, and the company, Dubai Ports World, who intends to take over the operation of 6 of the US's largest ports (including the Port of New York, and the Port of New Jersey) is the same company that managed the UAE port used to smuggle weapon components between North Korea, Iran, and Libya.

According to testimony given to the US Congress in March of 2004 by former CIA director George Tenet- prior to September 11th, the CIA had an opportunity to kill Bin Laden, but called off the operation because the royal family of the United Arab Emirates were Bin Laden's house guests. According to Tenet, if we had bombed Bin Laden at that time, "half the [UAE] royal family would have been wiped out."

I suggest we judge the UAE by the company they keep.

In the immediate aftermath of September 11th, everyone from Rudy Giuliani to Tom Ridge spoke out that possibly the single greatest vulnerability to US security was not air travel, but the vulnerability of our sea ports.

The idea that we will now turn over the management of six of our largest American ports to a nation with direct ties to Islamic terrorists boggles the mind.

In New York State, politicians across party lines, at every level, are opposed to this deal: Governor George Pataki of New York State (R), Senators Hillary Clinton (D) and Charles Schumer (D) of New York State, Mayor Bloomberg of New York City (R), Representative Pete King (R) of New York State, etc.

This must be stopped.

Bush defends his administration's approval of the sale of the ports by stating that it would send a "mixed message" to our "Ally", the United Arab Emirates, "I want those who are questioning [the sale] to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard." He has threatened that if any member of Congress tries to stop this purchase from going through, "I'll deal with it, with a veto."

Right now, there is almost enough vocal bipartisan opposition in the Senate to override a Presidential veto and stop the sale of American ports to the UAE from going through.

I am requesting of all of my friends and relatives, please write, not just your own Congressional Representative, Senator, and Governor, but also the Senators and politicians of states where you have relatives who vote. Tell them that you will vote them out of office, or advise your relatives in their state/district to vote them out of office unless they stand up against this lunacy.

A written, postal delivered (snail mail) is best.
Links to pre-formatted Word documents are at the end of the post.

So I guess ypu'd support the UAE backing out of the 9.7 billion dollar airliner order they just let with Boeing?

I've already written my legislators to ask them to silence the racism coming from the hill.

Regardless of the leasee, the US Coast Guard and US Customs handle the security.

We have Chinese, Danish, Taiwanese, Japanese and British companies leasing space at ports.

The folks on Capital Hill never made a sound about those leases.

But let those a-rabs acquire a lease and all of a sudden the Hill is concerned?

Racial profiling is ok, when libs do it


The idea that we will now turn over the management of six of our largest American ports This is simply incorrect.
