I believe these letters, the number of Congresspeople who signed them,
and the speed with which they were collected are all good indicators of
how powerful and influential the pro-Israel/Zionist/Jewish lobby is in the US. Strange
that our "representatives" won't voice this kind of support (written or
spoken) for any important domestic issues like making English the official
language, stopping illegal immigration, ending abortion, fixing our vast
economic problems, and opposing socialism, just to name a few. Despite
what a couple of Obama's gophers might say from time to time, the US
will continue to fund, arm, and support Israel and anyone who has a
different opinion won't have influence for very long. These letters tell
me where the power lies in this country, and it is in the Zionist
Israeli lobby.

importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, and laying out the bedrock
support that exists in the United States Congressfor the U.S.-Israel
alliance.The Senate letter, signed by<a href="http://www.aipac.org/Publications/SourceMaterialsCongressionalAction/Signatories_to_Boxer-Isakson_Letter.pdf" target="_blank">76
Senators</a>, follows immediately on the heels of a similar House
letter, signed by more than<a href="http://www.aipac.org/Publications/SourceMaterialsCongressionalAction/3_26_10__Letter_to_Secretary_of_State_re_US_commitment_to_Israeli_Security_and_Middle_East_peace.pdf" target="_blank">three-quarters

letter was sent to the Secretary of State with333 signatures.AIPAC
strongly applauds this enormous outpouring of support for the special
relationship between the United States and Israel, which is rooted in
shared values and common interests, including democracy, tolerance, the
rule of law and the pursuit of peace.The letter comes as the Commander
of the U.S. Central Command, General David Petraeus, told a Washington,
D.C.audience that Israel "is, has been and will be an important
strategic ally of the United States."
