Hillary Clinton to Address AIPAC

http://jewishinsider.com/6884/hillary-to-speak-at-aipacs-policy-conference/

Hillary Clinton is expected to address AIPAC’s Policy Conference in Washington, D.C.., later this month, AIPAC announced on Wednesday.
“AIPAC is pleased to announce that former Secretary of State and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is confirmed to join us live at AIPAC’s 2016 Policy Conference,” the largest pro-Israel lobby in the United States said in an email. “It is our honor to host presidential candidates this year, just as we have in previous election cycles.”
The 2016 AIPAC Policy Conference is scheduled for March 20-22. Plenary sessions will take place at the Verizon Center.
AIPAC extended invitations to all of the current presidential candidates. Clinton, who also addressed the annual gathering in 2008, was the first candidate to confirm her attendance.


Per the data, Hillary stands with the super-majority of Americans and a decisive margined majority of her party:


Hence, why she, and only she, has my vote!

So you think our next POTUS should endorse a lobby group that is using foreign money to influence Our politicians? Do you HRC supporters even stop and think for a minute before you post stuff?

Lobbied hard against Obama's trade deal. Since she's so closely allied herself to Obama in this primary, hopefully she comes down hard of them, or at least says to "cut it out".
