A recent CNN poll found that four out of five Democratic voters oppose the Israeli Prime Minister's planned March 3 tirade to Congress against diplomacy. Thursday morning, twenty-three House Democrats did something about it. They sent a letter calling on House Speaker John Boehner to postpone Netanyahu's scheduled March 3 address.
The signers were:
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC); Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN); Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), top Democrat on the House Financial Services committee; Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR); Rep. André Carson (D-IN); Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-MI), top Democrat on Judiciary; Rep. Danny Davis (D-IL); Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), top Democrat on Transportation and Infrastructure; Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL); Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX); Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA); Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA); Rep. Betty McCollum (D-MN); Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA); Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA); Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX); Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (NJ); Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-ME); Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI), First Vice-Chair of the CPC; Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA); Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ); Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT); Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY).
In addition, The Hill reports that so far the following other fourteen Members of Congress who caucus as Democrats have said that they will not attend the speech if it goes forward:
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT); Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT); Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI); Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), head of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC); Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), third ranking Democratic leader in the House; Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO); Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD); Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ); co-chair of the CPC; Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC); Rep. John Lewis (D-GA); Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY); Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY); Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA); Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS).

The 38 to watch when Obama declares the US an Islamic State
Representative Bennie Thompson (D) Mississippi’s racist, communist and anti Semite will boycott Netanyahu’s speech. His gerrymandered district votes for him just because he is black every election. Its easy to hoodwink the ignorant Amish of the Delta.
Wow, biased much there huffpo? The title alone is a dead giveaway, but the first sentence is just astronomically to the left...
“A recent CNN poll found that four out of five Democratic voters oppose the Israeli Prime Minister’s planned March 3 tirade to Congress against diplomacy.”
A polemic, a tirade... and they haven’t even heard one word uttered. I guess prejudgement is OK if you’re a loony leftist.
These must all be safe districts for the Dems. I HOPE Dems in other districts are paying attention and will vote according to their consciences (if they have one) next election.
Why did they list the white men first?
“Profiles in Courage”
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
So it’s the CBC led by Ellison and a self loathing Jew.
Yeah, I caught that, too. “....tirade to Congress against diplomacy.....”
How do you suppose they know what he’s even going to say?
Do you suppose the CNN poll asked people how they feel about Netanyahu’s upcoming tirade to Congress against diplomacy?
When that friend of the Jews, Alexander the Great, died, there has been Greek hostility to the Jews ever since.
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN)...
go figure....
What irony-they’re scared to death of what Netanyahu is going to say, and that’s called “courage”.
Too bad the Dems and all at the Huffington Post are completely meaningless to me — and many others. Who cares what they have to say?
Are they just still trying to be relevant?
These Jew haters don’t deserve to stand in the same room with Bibi. But if a PLO representative came to congress they’d practically break down the doors to greet him.
Congressional scum.
aka “the Vichy democrats”
The enemy within is now outing itself. Thanks to Dear Leader’s tantrum full of lies, no less
What planet do these freaks hail from anyways?
I feel like we are living in Bizzaro land.
What is wrong with these creatures?
Tirade? Uh, what?
