Subject: Meeting request
Mr, Tor,
I am writing to request a phone call in the next few weeks between you or someone you recommend and Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna.
In March, AG McKenna co-signed a letter to Sec. Clinton, The letter supports Israel's actions in Gaza. The letter may be found here: http://www.cpjnews.com/State%20Attorney%20General%20Letter%20March%202009.pdf
Since March, AG McKenna has been criticized by anti-Israel groups in our state. Here is some of the criticism that has been posted online:

We would like advice about how to counter certain arguments, most prominently, the accusation that Israel has blocked the entry of humanitarian supplies into Gaza. We are aware that Israel has actually done quite a bit to ensure that medica! supplies are able to enter. However, we'd love to have supporting data. AG McKenna will be meeting some of these groups - including the parents of Rachel Corrie - in July, He would love to speak with you before that meeting.
Thank you for your time,
Dan Sytman
