About CALME

During this time of uncertainty in the Middle East, the U.S. must continue to play a leading role in advocating for peace and stability in order to come to a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. United States' national security interests are best served by stable, secure, and democratic states of Israel and Palestine. The Campaign for American Leadership in the Middle East (CALME) seeks to demonstrate the American public's strong support for this end, and for the leadership of President Bush in helping the parties reach it.

The signatories of the Campaign’s letter to President Bush ask all similarly minded Americans to join them, to show the President and the Congress the breadth and depth of the support for U.S. efforts to resolve the conflict. The Campaign’s leaders include former diplomats, politicians and military officers, business executives, religious leaders, and others.
