AIPAC and Why We Need a Public Campaign Financing Law

David Duke, the man used as the main argument against public campaign financing, shows why this measure can save America billions and defend true American interests

By David Duke

When our American forefathers adopted the Constitution, each congressional district had a small population. Campaigners rode to the villages and towns of their district and truly stumped for votes; that is, they actually stood on a tree stump and made a speech. No one needed powerful special interest groups to finance a campaign because standing on a stump doesn’t cost any money. Members of state legislatures campaigned the same way. To campaign for U.S. Senator one just had to visit the state legislature because it elected U.S. Senators. Again, such campaigning required no money.

Incumbents had no great advantage in campaigns because any challenger had exactly the same opportunity to get his message to the voters.

All that has changed–and America suffers for it.

Make no mistake about it: the present system of lobbying on the national and state level constitutes nothing short of public bribery of elected officials. When a powerful lobby can promise a candidate huge sums of money and perhaps even a windfall job for the lobby after he leaves office – if only he votes their way – it is bribery, pure and simple. Yet, this bribery permeates America’s political system. (more…)

A Jew’s Own Experience of the Zionist Lobby

Dr. Beinin

The following is a letter from Dr. Beinin that appeared in the Sunday Magazine in California. It is by a Jew who has seen the true face of Zionism, Judaism and Israel. He has seen the reality of racial supremacism and hatred that exists in not only in Israel, but among radical Jewish extremists around the world. In the United States, this tiny group of Jewish supremacists is able to suppress freedom of speech on vital issues concerning Israel and United States foreign policy. From the article you can understand why they must resort to intimidation and suppression of free speech. They simply cannot afford for people to hear the truth on these issues. They cannot afford exposure of their blatant hypocrisy. Dr. Beinin points out how he and many other Jews worked for forced integration in the South, but other than a tiny few like himself, they now support the brutal racial hatred and oppression in Israel and the West Bank. One must inquire why the same media that support multiculturalism and racial egalitarianism in the United States unequivocally support the racist, apartheid state of Israel. At least Dr. Beinin is consistent in his views–that is something that cannot be said for the organized Jewish community in America and around the world. –David Duke

Last Sunday in San Francisco, the Anti-Defamation League sponsored “Finding Our Voice,” a conference designed to help Jews recognize and confront the “new anti-Semitism.” For me, it was ironic. Ten days before, my own voice was silenced by fellow Jews.

I was to give a talk about our Middle East policy to high school students at the Harker School in San Jose. With one day to go, my contact there called to say my appearance had been canceled. He was apologetic and upset. He expected the talk would be intellectually stimulating and intriguing for students. But, he said, “a certain community of parents” complained to the headmaster. He added, without divulging details, that the Jewish Community Relations Council of Silicon Valley had played a role. (more…)
