Dear ,

The focus of this week's CUFI Action Update is going to touch on a
different aspect of our work. While the Action Fund does not engage in
electioneering, and we see most Members of Congress from both sides of
the aisle as generally open to hearing our arguments in support of a
strong US-Israel relationship, even when we disagree with an elected
official on one issue we can often find common ground elsewhere. In the
rarest of circumstances, certain elected officials seem committed to
opposing every element of the CUFI agenda. When that happens, we want to
be sure that you have the public record available to you.

As such, this update lays out key votes taken by Rep. Thomas Massie of
Kentucky. We think Christian Zionists in the Blue Grass state and around
the country will be shocked to learn this Representative's positions.

In a nutshell, as CUFI and President Trump have sought to strengthen the
US-Israel relationship, Rep. Massie has voted to undermine it. As we
have worked to use education to combat anti-Semitism, Rep. Massie has
opposed that as well. As elected officials from the White House to
Congress have worked to counter Iran and Turkey, Representative Massie
has taken positions that would enable those countries to continue their
malicious foreign policies without consequence. Rep Massie has opposed
CUFI's and President Trump's priorities at every turn. And we at the
Action Fund thought as committed supporters of Israel, you would want to
be aware of his record.

For starters, in 2014 Representative Massie was the only Member of
Congress to vote against the

**United States - Israel Strategic Partnership Act**, and last year,
Massie voted against a resolution condemning the anti-Semitic movement
to Boycott, Divest from and Sanction Israel.

In late January of this year, Rep. Massie was one of just 5 individuals
to vote against the CUFI-backed

**Never Again Education Act**, which will expand Holocaust education in
the United States in the hopes of inoculating the next generation
against the rising tide of anti-Semitism sweeping across the country.

Late last year, Rep. Massie was one of just 16 Representatives to vote
against the

**Protect Against Conflict by Turkey Act**, which provided a strong,
targeted economic response to the crisis caused by Turkey's invasion
of northern Syria and prevents the sale of arms to Turkey for use in
Syria.

Providing a detailed description of all of Representative Massie's
votes against efforts to curb Iran's support for terror and nuclear
ambitions would take far too long, but here is a snapshot of the
Congressman's relevant positions:

* One of just three Representatives to vote against the

**Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act** (07/25/18)

* One of just three Republicans to vote against the

**Iranian Leadership Asset Transparency Act** (12/13/17)

* One of just two Representatives to vote against the Iran Ballistic
Missiles and International Sanctions Enforcement Act (10/26/17)

* Was the only Member of Congress to vote "present" on a resolution
that would have approved of the Iran nuclear accord, which President
Obama implemented and President Trump tore up (09/11/15)

As you can see, if you're a supporter of Israel, and If you want to
combat anti-Semitism and keep enemies like Turkey and Iran at bay, then
Representative Massie is not representing your views. To stay up-to-date
on the most important issues affecting the US-Israel relationship,
including where certain elected officials stand on these matters, keep
reading the Action Update.

Sincerely,
CUFI Action Fund Team
