Rep. Pat Ryan (NY-18) has received nearly $280,000 from pro-Israel lobby groups while consistently voting to send weapons used in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It's time for Ryan to represent us.
Total documented lobby funding from pro-Israel groups
Total Israeli military aid packages Ryan supported in Congress
Ryan has never voted against any Israeli military aid or policy
HR 3565 would stop the transfer of bunker-busting bombs, white phosphorus, and other weapons to Israel. 50+ Democratic colleagues have already co-sponsored this bill - Ryan must join them.
Hello, Representative Pat Ryan. My name is ____ and I have lived in your district for __ years. I speak for my family and my neighbors when I say I'm filled with so much grief seeing the atrocities our government and our tax dollars are funding when we send weapons to Israel. We've seen too many images of dead Palestinian children, destroyed homes, and civilians starved by Israel's blockade. This has to stop. I'm asking you today to cosponsor the Block the Bombs Act, H.R. 3565, to withhold major weapons to Israel, like the 2,000-pound bombs and tank ammunition, that Israel is using to kill children. The overwhelming majority of Americans, including 77% of Democrats, are against sending weapons to Israel. And as Israel continues to block aid, US law - Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act - prohibits providing weapons to Israel. Will you promise to stand with us and join 47 of your colleagues who are already sponsoring the Block the Bombs Act?
Pat Ryan's votes directly fund weapons used in what the International Court of Justice, UN experts, and international human rights organizations have determined to be genocide.
Ryan voted for weapons used to target hospitals, schools, and aid workers in what UN experts call the deliberate starvation of civilians.
Our community believes in dignity, justice, and protecting the innocent. Pat Ryan's votes betray everything we stand for.

Ryan's voting record shows clear correlation between AIPAC funding and his positions. Since receiving AIPAC money, he has consistently voted for military aid packages and against measures that would restrict weapons transfers to Israel.
The pattern is clear: AIPAC money → Pro-Israel votes → More AIPAC money
