Q. What is the National Action
Committee (NACPAC)?
A.
NACPAC is
the nation’s largest pro-Israel political action committee of
approximately 50 such committees nationally. Political action committees
are entities first established by Congress in the early 1970s to enable
like-minded individuals to associate and pool their small contributions to
political candidates who share their views. NACPAC is
allowed to contribute, in some cases, as much as $15,000 to a political
candidate who believes, as NACPAC and its members believe, that a
strong US-Israel alliance is good for . . . America!
NACPAC was founded in 1980 and is based in South
Florida. NACPAC raises funds
from annual membership dues, which are pooled with other members' dues
to enable large, meaningful "impact" contributions to our pro-Israel
Congressional friends. |

Q. Who does NACPAC support?
A. NACPAC
supports
Members of Congress, or
their challengers, who support a strong US-Israel alliance and the pro-Israel
agenda. NACPAC does not involve itself in
state or local campaigns since their concerns rarely, if ever, impact on Israel or
the US-Israel strategic partnership. NACPAC is completely bi-partisan and does
not take positions relative to Israel’s internal affairs. Click here
