How about the 5 billion ways (dollars) that I and the rest of the American taxpayers have already been forced to help Israel?

Great links and thanks for the reminder. I kept forgetting to place my order last week HERE for pins. I won't get them until next week because they are on backorder, but I don't mind: the woman I spoke with on the phone told me that this particular pin was very popular... so much so that they were being ordered by the hundreds of thousands!
