Eight Questions - to Sec. State Kerry

| No Comments

I had posted two days ago about how a group funded by our State Department was working in Israel trying to undermine the re-election of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

Senator Ted Cruz is asking eight questions - from the American Thinker:

Sen. Cruz fires off letter to SecState Kerry demanding info on political campaign against Netanyahu by administration-funded organizations
The intervention in Israel’s forthcoming election by groups that have received funding from the U.S. government, and which are staffed by veterans of the Obama campaign, certainly sounds like intervention on the internal politics of another nation – a big no-no on the world stage.  It demands investigation, and unsurprisingly, Senator Ted Cruz, joined by Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY), is at the forefront.  He has sent off a letter to Secretary of State Kerry asking specific questions – questions that can be repeated at Senate oversight hearings.

More at the site - the questions?

    1. How much funding has the U.S. Government provided to OneVoice, PeaceWorks Network Foundation, and any connected initiatives, projects or subsidiaries?
    2. Who approved providing such funds?
    3. What is the oversight and accounting process for how these funds are being spent?
    4. How often and on what dates has such funding been provided?
    5. What were the specific reasons and terms for providing funds, and how are these funds specifically being spent?
    6. Can the Department of State guarantee that none of these funds have been or will be used in the endeavor detailed above, namely the partnership with V15, or any similar effort to exert undue influence over the Israeli political process?
    7. Was there any knowledge from the State Department or other U.S. government officials of the partnership with V15 prior to providing funds to OneVoice?
    8. Does OneVoice’s work with V15 violate its 501(c)(3) status (or the status of the PeaceWorks Network Foundation) as a tax-exempt organization and should such status be revoked?

I would like to know these answers - Kerry is in over his head and meddling in areas where he should not.
