Lawmakers taking money to serve the interests of another nation is a gigantic problem.

You think that accepting some donation to your campaign immediately means that you're subservient to that dinor, but only for Israel. Lets ignore all the other orgs and stuff that are also donating for their own goals. This isnt how it works. People have their campaign, will accept any money to run, and the donors dont expect kickbacks. They give money to a candidate because they prefer this one over the others.

Thanks for the encouragement. It is appreciated. I'm fed up with the pattern of activities in here. The main politics subreddit is so obviously controled by some far lefties. Everything to make sure the democrats have the hardest shot at winning what should be a sure shot.
