It's rare for Members of Congress to face "clean" votes; moments
when legislation has no add-ons, no hidden agenda, none of the typical
Washington clutter. On Saturday, the House of Representatives faced one
of those votes.

**A Simple Choice**

**??**

Last week, we all watched in horror as Iran attacked Israel, but we were
elated to see that Iran's efforts were fruitless against the Israeli
military's defensive capabilities and those nations including the
U.S., U.K., Saudi Arabia, and Jordan who aided in protecting the Jewish
state.

On Monday, 250 ministry and community leaders gathered in Washington for
an emergency fly-in hosted by CUFI. The gathering was focused on
addressing the

**to-that-point** failed state of House efforts to advance aid to
Israel. ??

CUFI founder and Chairman Pastor John Hagee as well as CUFI Action Fund
Chairwoman Sandra Parker met with House Speaker Mike Johnson on the
sidelines of the fly-in's opening dinner, during which Speaker Johnson
delivered a powerful address.

"We need your help. Israel is being abandoned by more and more people
- even some in the United States Congress - and that's a great
shame," said Speaker Johnson.

"Weakness is too costly. Strength will ultimately save us and ensure
peace. We must not hesitate. We must not waver. We must confront the
darkness of terrorism, guided by the light of freedom and our faith in
God," he continued.

Alongside Speaker Johnson, CUFI's top leaders also heard from Rep.
Tony Gonzales (R-TX), among the most unshakeable friends of Israel in
Congress today.

"The waiting is over... The time is absolutely now to get this
security package over the finish line. We need your help," said
Representative Gonzales.

The next day, the CUFI delegation met with elected officials in Congress
and delivered a clear and unequivocal message of support for emergency
aid to Israel.

"The only politicians who represent our 10-million-member organization
are the ones who stand with Israel. If you are not for Israel, we are
not for you," declared Pastor Hagee.

**The Grassroots Engage**

Following the emergency fly-in, CUFI launched an Action Alert calling
upon House members to support both the rule enabling a vote on the
Israel bill and support the Israel aid bill itself.

Nearly 65,000 people responded to the alert, and in the end, when the
vote on the Israel aid bill took place, it passed with 366 Republicans
and Democrats voting in favor.

By allowing separate votes on each of the component parts of the
package, Johnson was able to achieve overwhelming bipartisan majority
support for the national security package being considered and expected
to pass in the Senate this week. Ultimately, America was put first on
Saturday by the overwhelming majority of the House as a direct result of
the honest and humble leadership of House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Unfortunately, there are those who disagree with the above quite
vehemently. They view any bipartisanship as by definition a worse
outcome. They have forgotten that even if one believes politics is a
zero-sum game, governance is not. And if one only governs to win and to
acquire more power, they betray their constituents and have no business
anywhere near any power - let alone more.

There is no legitimate excuse for voting against the aid to Israel and
believe us when we tell you we heard them all), which 37 Democrats and
21 Republicans did.

This was the most significant vote in defense of Israel (and frankly
democracy writ large) in years, and our job is to bring you the
information and then together, we do something about it.

The Israel Security Supplemental is the single largest military package
for Jerusalem since its modern founding. Once passed by the Senate this
week and signed into law, Israel will have the resources to continue the
fight and the resupply for critical missile defense systems to ensure
millions of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the Holy Land will be safe
from the evils of Iran and its proxies.

Below is the list of Members of Congress who sided with America's and
Israel's adversaries this past Saturday.

Sincerely,

The CUFI Action Fund Team
