John, did you see this news last week?
AIPAC, the anti-Palestinian, right-wing megadonor-funded lobby group, has officially spent more than $100 million in federal elections this year, most of which came from MAGA millionaires and billionaires.
More than $25 million was spent by AIPAC and its Super PAC in Justice Democrats’ Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman’s Democratic primary elections, where the group recruited and backed corrupt, conservative challengers.
This is what “democracy” looks like? A single-issue lobby group buying our elections?
Democratic Party leadership has been complacent about this for way too long, John. They let AIPAC spend a historic amount of money to successfully unseat some of the only working-class members of Congress we have. What will happen next cycle if they allow this to continue?
If we’re going to reform our broken campaign finance system, end Citizens United, and get dark money out of politics, the Party MUST reject AIPAC once and for all, as soon as possible.
Thank you for anything you can contribute to power our mission in the days ahead.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
