The Case
Congress works for the people who elect it. Not for foreign governments, and not for the lobbies those governments benefit from. Here's the case, with sources for every claim.
Pillar one
Under a memorandum of understanding signed in 2016, the US pledged Israel $38 billion over ten years, $3.8 billion every year, the largest such pledge in American history.[1] That was the baseline. In the single year after October 7, 2023, US military aid to Israel hit a record $17.9 billion.[2] Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of US foreign assistance since World War II, roughly $310 billion in today's dollars.[3]
Israel is a wealthy country. Its GDP per capita is on par with the UK and Japan.[4] Americans with medical debt and crumbling infrastructure are subsidizing a developed economy's military, indefinitely, with no vote and no exit clause.
Pillar two
AIPAC and its affiliated super PAC spent over $100 million in the 2024 elections, and by its own count its endorsed candidates won 361 races.[5] Its super PAC, the United Democracy Project, spent $14.5 million to unseat a single House member in one New York primary, the most expensive House primary in American history.[6] In 2026 it broke its own record: roughly $30 million on one Michigan Senate primary.[7]
This is not persuasion. It's a pricing mechanism. Cross the lobby and it will spend more than your entire campaign budget to replace you. Every member of Congress knows the number. We publish theirs.
Pillar three
The Foreign Agents Registration Act exists so Americans can see when someone lobbies for foreign interests. AIPAC has never registered under FARA. It operates as a domestic lobby, which means the most effective foreign-policy influence operation in Washington runs with less mandatory transparency than a tobacco company's lobbyists.[8]
We don't argue the lobby is illegal. We argue that what's legal here is the scandal, and the first fix is sunlight: register foreign-interest lobbying, disclose it, and let voters see the money. That's what this site is for.
Pillar four
"A passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils… it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country." George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796[9]
This isn't a left or right position. It's the oldest position in American politics. And Americans are coming back to it: US public sympathy toward Israel is at its lowest point in a quarter century of Gallup polling.[10] The votes in Congress haven't moved with the voters. The money explains the gap.
End the aid packages. Register and disclose all foreign-interest lobbying under FARA. Ban campaign spending by PACs whose primary purpose is advancing a foreign government's agenda, from any country. American policy, decided by Americans, in the American interest. That's the whole program.
