I am writing to ask you to join in supporting the JASTA Legislation introduced by Senator Schumer and original co-sponsors Sens. Whitehouse, Kyl, Hatch, Cornyn and Graham and press for its prompt passage.
Ten years after the murder of almost 3,000 souls on American soil, many of those who enabled and sponsored the murderers who carried it out still remain outside the law. Please make JASTA a reality and a law now, so that all sponsors of terrorism know they cannot hide behind a misinterpretation of the FSIA or the Antiterrorism Act ever again! The families of the victims, the survivors and friends don’t want to wait any longer to seek justice and eliminate the veil of secrecy behind which the enablers continue to be protected and finance future terrorism in the US.
After more than ten long and painful years, it is time to make this happen.
Thank you.
