Christians United for Israel garnered more than 20,000 signatures on a letter urging U.S. Sen. Rand Paul to drop calls to end aid to Israel.

Over 33,000 CUFI members have sent emails over the last week. If you have not sent an email yet, click here now and send an urgent e-mail to Senator Rand Paul.
