"In an interview with Glenn Beck this morning, Congressman Joe Walsh said that the International Israel Allied Caucus Foundation (IIACF) was going to sponsor a fact-finding mission to Israel for congressmen who wanted to go, setting up meetings with Israeli officials and also joining Beck at his Restoring Courage event. But apparently Boehner’s office didn’t approve the trip noting that Beck’s portion of the trip had the appearance of a political event, that there wasn’t enough meeting time built into the schedule and that the IIACF was a lobbying group. On the last portion Walsh countered that the IIACF is certainly not a lobbying group, but rather a 501(c)(3) charity." Here is my response to the Speaker: Mr. Speaker I respect your position on the Glenn Beck event. I plan to postpone my official visit to Israel. I will attend Mr. Beck's event at my own expense and not at the taxpayers. I want to make a strong statement that I stand with Israel in these troubled times. Had our president shown this type of commitment I would not feel duty bound to do so. I hope you have the same respect for my decision that I have demonstrated on yours. Sincerely Joe Walsh CC.
