    How can you be so dogmatic in your belief that he was lying?
Evidently Harry Katz, member of AIPAC, thinks the lobby has indeed
acquired "disproportionate political power" as he said or I hardly
think he would have gone to the trouble to start taping conversations.

    I hardly need to make up a lobbying group to express my opinion
that a major part of our problem is lobbying groups.  And regardless of
who likes it or not, I am free to speak out against the abuse of powers
by special interest groups, of which AIPAC is just one--although it is
a powerful one, which are so damaging to the best interests of this
nation.  Frankly, I am tired of government by lobby and special interest
group.  If being a loyal citizen who would like to see government restored
to the people is a crime, then I plead guilty.  If you prefer government
by lobby, fine.
