How do I find out how much pro-Israel lobby money my Georgia representative took?

Gen Us compiles each Georgia member of Congress's pro-Israel lobby total from FEC filings (via TrackAIPAC). This page lists every member of the delegation with their exact figure and generates a letter pre-filled with it.

Do letters to representatives actually work?

Yes. Congressional offices track constituent mail by topic; a flood of letters on one issue gets noticed. A civil, well-reasoned, in-district letter carries the most weight — especially a printed one in a stamped envelope.

What is the PEACE Pledge?

The PEACE Pledge (Pledge to Enforce American law, Counter foreign influence, and End war crimes) asks an elected official to refuse AIPAC-aligned money, oppose military aid to governments committing war crimes, and prioritize campaign-finance reform.

The Honorable Raphael Warnock
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Warnock,

I am a constituent of Georgia, and I am writing about the $847,927 your campaigns have accepted from pro-Israel lobby groups, according to FEC filings compiled by TrackAIPAC. That is the largest such total of any member of our state's congressional delegation.

This is money from organizations whose stated purpose is to advance the interests of a foreign government. The United Nations Human Rights Office has concluded that Israel's conduct in Gaza meets the legal definition of genocide. I do not believe a foreign-policy lobby should be able to buy that kind of influence over my representation in Congress.

As your constituent, I respectfully ask that you:

  1. Decline any further contributions from AIPAC and its affiliated donor networks;
  2. Oppose further U.S. military assistance to a government credibly accused of war crimes and of violations of the Leahy Laws; and
  3. Sign the PEACE Pledge — Pledge to Enforce American law, Counter foreign influence, and End war crimes.

A majority of Americans now oppose additional military aid to Israel. I am one of your voters, and I will be paying close attention to how you vote.

Respectfully,

[Your Name]

3 · Letter to the editor (your whole delegation, with receipts)

To the Editor:

Our campaign-finance system lets a foreign-policy lobby buy influence over the officials who are supposed to represent us. In Georgia, the figures are a matter of public record.

According to FEC filings compiled by TrackAIPAC, members of Georgia's congressional delegation have accepted the following from pro-Israel lobby groups:

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) — $847,927
Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) — $819,878
Rep. Lucy McBath (D) — $621,583
Rep. Brian Jack (R) — $505,916
Rep. Nikema Williams (D) — $130,118
Rep. Rich McCormick (R) — $99,128
Rep. Sanford Bishop (D) — $86,537
Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R) — $78,182
Rep. Buddy Carter (R) — $72,447
Rep. Hank Johnson (D) — $68,435
Rep. Austin Scott (R) — $64,220
Rep. Rick Allen (D) — $53,621
Rep. Mike Collins (R) — $20,946
Rep. Clay Fuller (R) — $3,500
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R) — $1,000

The United Nations Human Rights Office has concluded that Israel's conduct in Gaza meets the legal definition of genocide, and a majority of Americans now oppose further military aid. Yet the money keeps flowing, and too often the votes follow it.

I am not asking anyone to take my word for it — the filings are public and the figures above are on the record. I am asking my neighbors to look at who funds their representatives, and to ask them a simple question: when American interests and a foreign lobby's interests conflict, whose side are you on?

Keep it to 250–300 words for most papers. Editors reject letters for length far more than for opinion.

4 · The PEACE Pledge (the ask you want them to sign)

THE PEACE PLEDGE
(Pledge to Enforce American law, Counter foreign influence, and End war crimes)

I pledge that I will not knowingly accept campaign contributions, bundled donations, or political support from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Democratic Majority for Israel (DMFI), the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC), Christians United for Israel (CUFI), their affiliated PACs, or similar donor networks promoting unconditional support for Israel — including funds routed through intermediary organizations.

I acknowledge the broad consensus of human rights organizations and genocide scholars who have concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and I will support legislation that formally recognizes it.

In accordance with the Leahy Laws and the Foreign Assistance Act, I will not vote for military assistance to any government whose forces are committing gross violations of human rights, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or genocide, including governments restricting humanitarian aid.

I will oppose any permanent, irrevocable integration of U.S. military or intelligence functions with a foreign service in ways that compromise U.S. sovereignty or human rights.

I will support accountability for the misuse of U.S. weapons abroad and oppose measures to sanction International Criminal Court officials over war-crimes prosecutions.

I will oppose measures that restrict First Amendment speech and assembly by conflating criticism of a foreign government with bigotry.

I will make comprehensive campaign-finance reform a legislative priority, including overturning Citizens United, so that elected officials answer to voters, not donors.

Beyond letters — a short organizing playbook

Start with intelligence: follow the money

Every effective effort starts with research. The figures above are the headline, but your state Board of Elections (under the Secretary of State) has direct-contribution filings, and many states have a nonprofit that tracks independent expenditures. For federal money, OpenSecrets and TrackAIPAC are your two core sources — make sure everyone working with you knows both.

Go to existing organizations

You don't have to build from scratch. Faith groups, unions, student groups, and chapters of national organizations are often already organized. Meet people in person — a coffee does more than twenty emails. Organizing is three things at once: relationships, trust, and shared work.

If you hold an event: plan, recon, permit, civility

Pick one clear, concrete ask (e.g., sign the PEACE Pledge). Scout the location, get the permit (usually local police), formally invite the official, and designate marshals to keep it civil and lawful. A successful small action beats a failed big one. Keep it under two hours. Never let anyone push it toward anything illegal.
