Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, And John McCain To Address AIPAC Conference
Dear Policy Conference Participant,

This year's AIPAC Policy Conference is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet, and we're grateful that you will be part of it.

We have a record number of delegates participating and an incredible array of speakers and honored guests.
Included among those addressing us will be:
· All four leaders of the House and Senate;
· The three Presidential candidates;
· And Israel's Prime Minister.... to name just a few.

Every single one of them is a strong friend of AIPAC and a dedicated proponent of the special relationship between the United States and Israel.

6. Good question. How about a legislation prohibiting formation of PACs that promotes the interests
of other countries.

7. We give them billions every year
Could it be that they are using our tax payer dollars to lobby our Congress for the interests of another country?

9. AIPAC isn't a PAC.
And it's protected by the Constitution. Much as I'd like to see them gone or diminished, I'm not willing to sacrifice the 1st amendment for that.
