How different would America be today if "our" elected officials responded to the needs of their constituents rather than special interest groups and their personal whims? Would America be fighting Israel's wars if AIPAC was banned from offering bribes?

AIPAC is a foreign lobby and most certainly should be banned in the USA. But I agree that ALL lobbies should be disbanded and all future decisions be made by an unbiased government doing the will of the American people.
