Calling All Patriots!
I wrote Bill Nelson (FL) a while back expressing my concern about F-16s and Tanks going to the "Muslim Brotherhood" run Egypt at the tax payer's expense. I got a response and it is below. Please feel free to TWEET the S.O.B and let him know what you think about his spineless Obama Lap-dance

Dear Mr. Batten:
Thank you for writing me about the sale of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets to Egypt.
The deal to transfer 20 F-16 jets was signed two years ago, before President Morsi was elected. The jets are part an annual assistance package to Egypt, in support of the 1979 Camp David Accords with Israel. The continued observance of these accords helps protect Israel, and helps maintain the broad, strategic partnership that we have had with Egypt during the last thirty years.
Please know that I share your concern about recent developments in Egypt. As the Morsi government continues to take shape, and as we re-evaluate U.S. policy, sanctioned repression cannot not be tolerated. This is why I cosponsored S. Res. 44, which supports democracy and the peaceful transition to a representative government in Egypt. The resolution articulates my concern about organizations that espouse extremist ideology, including the Muslim Brotherhood, and underscores the vital importance of the Egyptian government honoring the peace treaty with Israel.
I appreciate your correspondence on this important issue. You can be assured that I will continue to closely monitor new developments in Egypt.
Sincerely,
Bill Nelson
