Members of the Downey chapter of CIPAC - Christians' Israel Public Action Campaign - are preparing to head to Washington, D.C. the week of April 16 to advocate "for the safety of the United States and Israel." Downey resident Lisa Ives, the chapter's national outreach coordinator, along with other California CIPAC members, will join fellow advocates from across the country. CIPAC, founded in 1989, lobbies to "educate and mobilize citizens to act on behalf of sound laws and policies regarding Israel in the U.S. Congress." ********** Published: April 5, 2012 - Volume 10 - Issue 51
