Statement of Support for Rima Barakat Sinclair

"I don't have a vote for you in the state of Colorado, but I do have a voice to give you my admiration and support with, and to say thank you for your vitally important work on behalf of peace."

"I read Elana's email today.. and I wanted to send you an email of support. I've heard a little about the attacks against you, and I thought that I would let you know how outraged I am. Please let me know if there is anything I can do on your behalf."

"Rima, Your political stance is opposed to mine on party/choice -- but I cannot bear that any criticism of Israel becomes a stamp of bigotry."

"I wish you much success. I am a Jewish peace & justice activist, who has visited the West Bank five times since 2003 & plan to "break the siege in Gaza in 8/08. (see: freegaza.org)"

"Don't let the bigots deter you! Carry on your campaign, may it be successful."

"This petition was first created offline by Elana Wesley. Over 100 people have already signed by emailing Elana. Please sign here as this is a far easier way of tallying signatories in support of Rima Barakat Sinclair"

"Many American politicians jump on the Zionist bandwagon simply because they know that is where the power is. Jewish groups and Christian zionists have effectively silenced many critics of Israel by smearing the character of anyone who dares opposes Israel"

"It should be no place for hate and ignorance and Rima has the right to compete like every body else"

"Rima Sinclair Barakat is one of the most open minded and intelligent people I know. She is adamant about the unfair treatment of the Palestinian people, and is not afraid to speak out."

"She is very bright,wonderful and beautiful"

"Stay strong - don't let the crazies get you down!! he people need good representation -- don't give up..."
