The CFR mandate is to be a think tank making foreign policy suggestions that will discourage isolationism.So the CFR is basically a political lobbying organization?

The predate modern lobbying. Their position paper and most meeting minutes are open to the public they hope to influence public opinion. If you think about the period after WW1 there was tremendous desire for us to "stay out of foreign entanglements" the CFR thought that was short sighted and would lead to trouble both poltically and economically.
