WALBERG JOINS NEWLY LAUNCHED CONGRESSIONAL TASK FORCE AGAINST ANTI-SEMITISM

Washington, Sep 7 - U.S. Congressman Tim Walberg (R-MI) today joined the newly launched bi-partisan Congressional Task Force Against Anti-Semitism, which will function as an independent arm of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus.

The Task Force will be chaired by Congressman Ron Klein (D-FL) and Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) and was initiated by Congressman Tom Lantos (D-CA), the founding co-chairman of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus.

"As much as we would like to think and hope it doesn't exist, anti-Semitic discrimination is still prevalent in many parts of the world," Walberg said. "Our nation was founded on the idea of religious freedom, and it is an honor to be a part of this important caucus as we work to combat hatred and religious discrimination."

The Congressional Anti-Semitism Task Force will provide insights into the depth and effects of anti-Semitism worldwide. The Task Force's primary role is to bring to light specific cases of anti-Semitism and educate members of Congress, world leaders and citizens about the horrors that these cases pose on society. The Task Force's primary goal is to advance the visibility of and serious thinking about how the United States can best address the challenges of anti-Semitism throughout the world, so that we will never relive the horrors such hatred has wrought in our past.
