13. 80 members (15%) of the current US Congress have AIPAC as their all-time top contributor per OpenSecrets reports.

Figures listed reflect total spending by all pro-Israel PACs and their bundlers that we have identified.

8 Senators. 72 Representatives.
36 Republicans. 44 Democrats.

3. Yes, I would. The only donors a political candidate should worry about are convicted felons or an Epstein. n/t

[nitpicked]

8. And disguised contributions from foreigners

11. American Jews are "foreigners"? Not very subtle.

16. Huh????

Did you put this reply in the wrong thread? Or are you seeing something that isn't there?

[tritsofme]

19. AIPAC is a group of American Jews, not "foreigners"

Jews are allowed to have political beliefs, even when you disagree.

[3_Limes]

22. Not to split hairs, but it's a group of American zionists.

And not all jewish. Zionism is for the benefit of Israel, no one else. Americans are indeed free to lobby as they choose, but this lobbying is solely aimed at diverting our assets to a foreign power. Furthur, I don't count any supporters of genocide amoung the nations friends, so I must view AIPAC with a jaundiced eye.

4. Will you fail to vote for a Democratic candidate if they have accepted money from AIPAC?

In a GE?

[PeaceWave]

9. Bingo.

[Jack Valentino]

5. I'd have a more difficult time doing it---- but the party control of

the two houses of congress are the most important considerations,
and that outweighs anything else.....





Otherwise, NO

6. Last month's N.J. special election to fill Mikie Sherill's seat - I was getting shitloads of mail against Tom

Malinowski. Turns out, it was funded by A.I.P.A.C. Tom lost, but was beaten by the candidate who is more anti-Israel than Tom.

A,I.P.A.C. is a reason I won't vote for a candidate.

[Intractable]

7. Both Schumer and Jeffries take AIPAC money.

It's a problem.

[David__77]

17. Hopefully they stop that. It's good that this issue is getting attention.

[Intractable]

18. If we want leaders who do not take AIPAC's money, we will need new leaders.

I hold no hope that either Schumer or Jeffries will stop.

[3_Limes]

10. It's not a litmus test, but I'd certainly avoid it if I could

I really think they're a malign influence.

[Norbert]

12. We have people hoping the Iran war brings end times

If this is the politician's biggest transgression I'd still say it beats the hell out of what we have now. I am not ready to embrace the rapture

[617Blue]

14. Will You Help Elect More GOP Fascists If A Dem Takes $ From AIPAC?

[Vinca]

15. When I go to the polls in November, I'll vote for the Democrat. End of story.

[onenote]

21. +1

[Rob H.]

20. No. No more lackeys for AIPAC nt
