Make sure AIPAC is not funding any of our candidates
for Congress. I think Israel's aggressive policies are a real problem for the US and a less sycophantic attitude to that state will perhaps improve the Middle East situation.

1. Boswell

I am not up to speed yet on this cycle's candidates, but Boswell has been a recipient of AIPAC money in the past.

Harkin and Grassley as well.

I agree that Israel's policies do nothing to promote stability in their region, and our near-unwavering support of Israel's choices are one reason we lack credibility with Arab nations.

Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is a real hot button issue with me. I have avoided the I/P forum for a while now (I used to go there regularly) due to the nonsense that is thrown back and forth there.

2. Another big check against Boswell.
With Dems like him who needs republicans? I think he should be urged to spend more time with his family. Much more time. It doesn't surprise me Harkin is going to that money tree as well. I wonder if he thinks he is forced to do so because of the heavily funded nasty campaigns the repugs always run against him> Even so he should consider other sources of campaign funds. No wonder we can't change campaign financing laws when the Israelis are intertwined into the issue as well as all the corporate scum.
