Resolution Calls for Investigating Rachel Corrie’s Death
Ask Congress to Support H.Con.Res. 111

Issue:

On March 16, 2003,
American college student and peace activist
Rachel Corrie was run over and killed by an
Israeli army bulldozer in the town of Rafah in
the Israeli occupied Gaza Strip. Corrie,
a 23-year-old student at Evergreen State
College in Olympia, Washington,
traveled to the occupied Palestinian
territories to join with the International
Solidarity Movement (ISM) to protect
Palestinian civilians and promote a
peaceful solution the conflict.

She died while attempting to stop the
bulldozing of a Palestinian home by
the Israeli army.

On March 25, 2003, Representatives Baird (D-Washington), McDermott
(D-Washington), Inslee (D-Washington), A. Smith (Washington) Dicks
(D-Washington), Larsen (D-Washington), Lewis (D-Georgia), Wu (D-California),
Honda (D-California), Eshoo (D-California), and Capps (D-California)
introduced a non-binding resolution (H.Con.Res. 111) expressing sympathy for
the loss of Rachel Corrie in the Palestinian town of Rafah in the Gaza
Strip.

H.Con.Res. 111: (1) expresses sympathy to Craig and Cynthia Corrie and to
their extended families, friends, and co-workers; (2) calls on the United
States Government to undertake a full, fair, and expeditious investigation
into the death of Rachel Corrie; and (3) encourages the U.S. government and
the government of Israel to work together to determine all the circumstances
that led to this incident and to ensure that an incident of this kind never
occurs again.

Response: Rachel Corrie was a courageous peace activist who was devoted to
the basic American tenet of liberty and justice for all. NAAA-ADC joins with
the family and friends of Rachel Corrie in mourning her tragic death. In
order to honor her memory and commemorate her tragic death, NAAA-ADC asks
that you contact your members of Congress and ask them to support H.Con.Res.
111.

The U.S. government must not allow the killing of an
American citizen to go unheeded and unpunished.

The investigation of Rachel Corrie’s brutal death
is necessary to put an end to the apparent indifference
by the Administration towards Rachel’s death and
that of other American citizens killed or injured in
recent years by Israeli soldiers in the Occupied Territories.

A formal investigation will also highlight
arbitrary Israeli policies and practices that
run contrary to declared U.S. policies
regarding the current Israeli-Palestinian
conflict.

Take Action: Contact your members of Congress
by entering your zip code above and linking to the
"action alert" concerning the death of Rachel Corrie
and Congressional efforts to fully investigate the
circumstances of her death.

Together, we can do something to help honor
Rachel Corrie’s memory and fulfill her peaceful mission.

Together, we will make a difference.

She should have kept her meddlesome ASS in America and stayed out of
other peoples' business!
