Money from the Israel Lobby (list)

Thanks to the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs for the following information. WRMEA is a 9 issues/year magazine packed with information I wish every American could read. All but their most recent issue is available at their website and this list comes from their pre-election issue.

Please note Mark Kirk, at the top of the list in the house, is now an Illinois senator. Also note the presence of Eric Cantor, who will now be House Majority Leader and Ileana Ros-Letinen who is on the house committee on foreign affairs (she often introduces pro-Israel resolutions and letters and uses her position to block legislation Israel doesn't like from reaching the house floor). On the list also is Steny Hoyer who is/was House Majority Leader under Nancy Pelosi. Don't overlook Harry Reid, who is/was Senate Majority Leader. Clearly, the Israel Lobby chooses wisely when influencing Congress with their money.
