Congressional Democrats paid by the Iran lobby to


Posted: Sep 4, 2015

Every senator who accepted money from the Iranian American Political Action Committee (IPAC) should be impeached and removed from office — or at very least, soundly defeated the next time he or she comes up for reelection. But the Enemedia, true to form, will cover for them and do everything it can to keep them on the government payroll. One of the many unanswered questions about P5+1 agreement with Iran is why so many Congressional Democrats are rallying behind the President on this issue when recent polls show the majority of Americans want Congress to reject the deal. Partrt of the reason is obvious: they are supporting a president from their own party, but a not-so-obvious reason may be that there is a “nefarious” lobby trying to control American foreign policy, and for a change the anti-Semites can’t blame the Jews. Iranian lobbyists are making big campaign donations to Democrats and are funding pro-deal propaganda. Writing in Front Page Magazine, Daniel Greenfield pointed out that many of the Democratic legislators who announced their support for the deal are getting money from the Iran lobby, specifically the Iranian American Political Action Committee, IPAC, which maxed out its contributions to Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) and Al Franken (D-Minn) — each received $5,000 in the 2014 election cycle. “Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), the Iran lobby’s third Dem senator, didn’t bother playing coy like her colleagues. he came out for the deal a while back even though she only got half the IAPAC cash that Franken and Markey received.” Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), who represents the state with the largest Jewish population in America, surprised many with her support of the deal. In addition to IAPAC cash, “Gillibrand had also picked up money from the Iran lobby’s Hassan Nemazee,” Greenfield reports. “Nemazee was Hillary’s national campaign finance director who had raised a fortune for both her and Kerry before pleading guilty to a fraud scheme encompassing hundreds of millions of dollars. Nemazee had been an IAPAC trustee and had helped set up the organization.” Barbara Boxer, who also came out for the deal, also Iran lobby funds. Getting IPAC cash on the House side were Mike Honda (D-CA), Andre Carson (D-IN), Gerry Connolly (D-VA), Donna Edwards (D-MD) and Jackie Speier (D-CA). Each of them supports Obama’s P5+1 turkey. But the Iran lobby’s biggest wins weren’t Markey or Shaheen. The real victory had come long before when two of their biggest politicians, Joe Biden and John Kerry, had moved into prime positions in the administration. Not only IAPAC, but key Iran lobby figures had been major donors to both men. “That list includes Housang Amirahmadi, the founder of the American Iranian Council, who had spoken of a campaign to ‘conquer Obama’s heart and mind’ and had described himself as ‘the Iranian lobby in the United States.’ It includes the Iranian Muslim Association of North America (IMAN) board members who had fundraised for Biden. And it includes the aforementioned Hassan Nemazee. “A member of Iran’s opposition had accused Biden’s campaigns of being ‘financed by Islamic charities of the Iranian regime based in California and by the Silicon Iran network.’ Biden’s affinity for the terrorist regime in Tehran was so extreme that after 9/11 he had suggested, ‘Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran’. Another part of the Iran lobby pushing the deal is the Ploughshares Fund. Ploughshares is not pushing the deal directly, but it’s financing many of the other groups pushing Congress to vote “yes.” Michael Rubin exposed the Plowshares money in a recent Commentary piece. According to Rubin, Ploughshares Fund is “a multimillion-dollar group which defines itself as a foundation seeking nuclear disarmament but which has, for several years, taken a consistently apologetic line toward Iran.” Ploughshares has been throwing its weight behind influential organizations such as the National Iranian American Council, the Arms Control Association, and the Atlantic Council, among others, in an attempt to garner support for the deal, Rubin reported. Ploughshares gave $150,000 to the National Iranian American Council for “advocacy” about the Iran Deal, $210,000 to the Arms Control Association to “influence US policy toward Iran,” and another $25,000 to fund an “expert workshop” and press briefings, according to Rubin. Per its annual report, Ploughshares also gives money to the anti-Israel group, J Street ($100,000) that has not only fought additional sanctions over recent years but also that has worked to promote the Iran agreement. J Street’s support also comes from the fact that it was President Obama, not the Jewish community who gave the group legitimacy. Pamela Geller;

Tom Cotton, Republican gets @ 1 million from lobby - Give Peace A Chance

[ In Reply To ..]
Republican Tom Cotton, the guy who does not love America and wrote the letter to Iran condemning the agreement.

Emergency Committee for Israel gave Tom Cotton nearly $1 million during his Senate Race. The exact figure is $960,250, and it was for “supportive campaign advertising,”

Cotton also got $165,000 from Elliott Management, which is the hedge fund for a billionaire named Paul Singer. Singer funds the Israel Project.

Funny thing about the above post, Al Franken is Jewish. I do not think those piddly contributions have anything to do with his support.

One should never use Al Franken and Love America - or intelligence in the same sentence

Tom Cotton loves America and exposed Obama and Kerry secret deal with Iran.

It’s impossible not to conclude that Obama is intentionally selling America out to Islam. Treason.
I love Tom Cotton. He's part of the young - generation of very principled

I'm not the person to whom you responded and I was not around during the McCarthy era, but what I know about red diaper doper babies is that they're the children of leftist baby boomers (pinko parents).

Obama and Kerry have now lifted Iran sanctions, - the #1 terrorist sponsor in the world.

that foreign entities can give money and influence our elections. Why are there no election laws to prevent this. I think we need to just stop all the campaign funds. Now that we have internet and news programs, we can find out about the candidates.

I also think all states should have the chance to vote the same day in the primary. The DNC and RNC are always picking who our candidates are instead of the people who are the only one with that right. One state is not more important than the next in choosing a president.

I have no doubt that Obama even though he denies he is Muslim is one because he surrounds himself with Muslims and people who are not born and bred American citizens. I don't want to hear how we are all immigrants. My ancestors fought in the RW and CW and most all the other wars. How many of these Muslims or other American born citizens can say that. My ancestors helped to make this country. Why should any other country have any say so moneywise or else about our elections.

We the people need to take back our elections and stop the fraud. Illegals should not be voting but yet they are and their votes are counted.

Obama and the rest, especially Kerry have just given away our country and instead of fighting our enemies by identifying them and actually going after them with all we have are instead sitting by doing nothing. Kerry has a lot of Muslim people surrounding him as well.

I don't think there is one of the Obama administration who is an honest person. I am sick of the politicians who are eager to make millions from Super Pacs or from those who buy votes (can't remember the term) and change our laws not for our good, but theirs.

This whole thing needs to stop or we risk losing out entire country. Our children and grandchildren and I might say in my case gr-grandchildren are being sold into financial slavery and won't get very far in life. Their education is not an education. Why not teach history the way it really played out instead of whitewashing it. Help them learn the basics, not some off the wall things. They are dumbing down our whole population and those of us who had good educations are the only ones left to teach them. They are not learning in school. All the schools want is students to study what is on some test so they can be funded. What kind of sense does this make anyway?
