After 70 years on the sidelines, AIPAC will now officially fundraise for politicians | |

[IsraelTimes] US pro-Israel lobby says profound change is ’an opportunity to significantly deepen and strengthen the involvement of the pro-Israel community in politics’ It has been for decades a recurring confusion for some in Washington: does AIPAC, the country’s largest pro-Israel lobby, have a PAC? Not until today. The PAC in AIPAC stands for Public Affairs Committee, not political action committee. But after countless explanations over the years, the group is getting into the fundraising business. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Thursday launched a regular political action committee, which funnels $5,000 maximum donations to designated candidates per race, and a super PAC, which can raise unlimited money for a candidate. AIPAC PAC will be the name of the regular PAC, while the super PAC has yet to be named. "The creation of a PAC and a super PAC is an opportunity to significantly deepen and strengthen the involvement of the pro-Israel community in politics," AIPAC spokesman Marshall Wittmann said in an email. "The PACs will work in a bipartisan way." Oh goody. Then they can control both sides.

#1 Well the current game in town is to buy support by renting politicians, so this is just organizational Darwinism... |
