A List of Corporate Lobbying by Jill Richardson

Out of curiosity I decided to see who was spending the most on lobbying in
America. And Oh My Goodness - NO WONDER our policy sucks. No wonder it's
nearly impossible to pass health care reform that provides all Americans
with affordable care, a global warming bill that doesn't suck, and the
Employee Free Choice Act. No wonder we're in these two stupid wars. I know
everyone's aware of the problems lobbying poses to our country, but good
lord, if people saw the sheer magnitude of it (and the comparatively
paltry amounts spent in the people's interest) they would be outraged. So
here goes. Here's the list of the top 100 (ranked by amount spent on
lobbying in Q109). Enjoy.

So when will you be copying and pasting lobbying money and donations by
unions and other liberal pacs?

Tell it all or don't tell it at all, Harry.

Otherwise, your bigotry shows.
