Press Congress to release the funding for the Palestinian version of Sesame Street as it did for the Israeli version.

Shara'a Simsim is the Palestinian version of Sesame Street. The U.S. government was set to donate $2.5 million for three more seasons of the show, which is one of about two dozen versions of Sesame Street around the world. But in October, the chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a Republican from Florida, placed a hold on about $190 million earmarked for a variety of projects in the Palestinian areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which means no money to produce Shara'a Simsim.
"You are working on education, on fun stuff, on kids — educating kids and families. So it was really sad for everybody," says Laila Sayegh, who heads the Palestinian version of Sesame Street. The Israeli version was funded. Information from NPR article http://n.pr/yn51m8
