Brit Tzedek v'Shalom, the Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace wrote and will deliver this petition.
About this Petition:
For Brit Tzedek, “we’ve got your back” means that President Obama does not have only the passive support of American Jewish organizations and our grassroots advocates. It’s important that the President know that a resounding majority of American Jews want a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and are willing to see the U.S. take a tough stance.

By committing yourself to action, you’ll join your voice to Jewish Americans across the country who want to see a peaceful resolution of the conflict, and want the U.S. to take a leading role in finding that resolution.
Writing to Congress, taking part in Action Alerts, writing to newspapers and blogging your opinions – all this informs our leaders that many support the new policy direction, and changes the tone of the discourse. Reaching out to friends and family expands the circle of advocates who will work to achieve a real solution.
We are actively committed to helping him bring his policy goals to fruition, getting the word out and winning hearts and minds. The President has said that he wants a two-state solution by the end of his first term –- Brit Tzedek will help face down naysayers, and provide him with the political breathing room and active assistance he’ll need.

To: Barack Obama, President of the United States
We petition that…
We will work within our community and within Congress to build the political will for Obama to take decisive and bold steps towards peace.
We will make it known that an American President who dedicates himself to establishing a durable Israeli-Palestinian peace acts in the best interests of Israelis, Palestinians, the United States and our allies.
We support Obama in staying the course through difficult times and to celebrate his success.
In Hebrew, the words for wind and for spirit are one and the same -- ruach. As you work for peace, I promise that the ruach of the American Jewish people and our friends in the pro-Israel community will be at your back.
