  • You could list your priorities and probably find a PAC being funded by interests with more money than the average American can donate to the cause. This isn’t exclusive to Israel/Palestine, it’s just clear that Israel’s goal is to silence any voices that speak against them in Congress so they can continue to get their funding for more weapons.

    At the end of the day, the Citizens United ruling has given special interests groups, including those who don’t have the success of America in their minds, outsized impacts on our elections and therefore our national and foreign policy.

    It’s chilling to think that another country can come here, spend millions with little or no rules or oversight to influence our politics. The average American voter doesn’t have millions of dollars to pour into races to defend their interests. We’re continually having our voices diluted by corporate and now foreign spending. This was happening before but now with PACs it’s essentially opened the floodgates.
