Dear Fellow Israelis and Contributors to Israeli Political Figures,
Gone are the days when Knesset Members and ministers can slack off and YOU the voter know nothing about it. Attached is our Report on the first (Summer) session of this Knesset which has just terminated. The report lists all activities and initiatives carried out by all MKs in pro-Israel ("right") parties, pertaining to all pro-Israel topics such as Palestinian state - danger for Israel, building Judea and Samaria, encouraging critical-location outposts, protecting civil rights for right-wing persons including settlers, checking hostile media, balances for the High Court of Justice, no release of terrorists, promoting the war on terror, and checking hostility of Israel's Arab population.
It's hard for some of us to read a detailed Hebrew report of political activity, so here is a summary of our name-by-name results! Each number below sums the number of Action Items (motions, bills, statements, votes etc.) carried by the relevant legislator, regarding the above topics, from the day the present Knesset session opened (24 February 2009) until a week before the present session ended -- 22 July 2009.

Action Items counted above fall under the following headings: bills, plenary votes, statements, Knesset and cabinet motions, Knesset committee debates, speeches, parliamentary interrogatories (sheiltot), parliamentary missions and outside events, public letters, cabinet debates, conventions, and use of sovereign powers.
IMPORTANT: Use your good influence. Make sure your legislators hear from you. Good Knesset Members tend to feel unappreciated, whereas poorly functioning Knesset Members are sure that no-one notices their poor performance. Show your interest by writing to them about their performance. Explain which MKs you were pleased with -- and who disappointed you. You can write to many MKs at once by copying the following addresses into "to":
