This was part of a full page add in NYT. I encourage all to join in:

Join the campaign to support legislation that will apply to all lobbies working on behalf of foreign governments. We propose a Foreign Lobby Registration Act (FLORA), an act designed to make lobbies supporting foreign governments more transparent and accountable to the American people. It will also make clear that those lobbies do not work on behalf of American interests but, in fact, work to support the narrow interests of a foreign government.

More than 60% of American voters according to a Zogby International poll believe AIPAC should be registered as the agent of a foreign government. If implemented under a FLORA, this would mean transparency in resources used by AIPAC dedicated to furthering the right-wing government of Israel. Contributors would have to be publicly listed. It would also put an end to the undeserved tax-exempt status that some foreign lobbies enjoy.

We are joining with other organizations and individuals, including former congressmen, to promote such legislation this year.

The Council for the National Interest Foundation (CNIF) is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization that works to promote a rational and even-handed Middle East policy in the long-term interest of America, Israel, and the Arab states. It was founded fifteen years ago by former Congressmen Paul Findley (R-Illinois) and Paul “Pete” McCloskey (R-California) and its vice chairman is former Senator James Abourezk (D-South Dakota). We hold Capitol Hill hearings on the Middle East peace process and American policy towards the entire region. See our websites or call us at 800-296-6958.
