FOR THE RECORD:
It is true that Jim Himes signed on to a letter with 52 of his liberal colleagues in the House of Representatives.
President Barack Obama responded to that letter by signing an Executive Order earmarking $20 million U.S. taxpayer dollars to "aid in the resettlement of Gaza refugees."
Recently President Obama announced that an additional $400 million will go to the Palestinian Governing Authority to aid in a "humanitarian crisis".
In a year of record budget deficits, unemployment and foreclosures this is how Congressman Jim Himes and President Obama are spending our tax dollars.
