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.
As if I give a **** about what passes for a thought in your brain, Lu.
There you go again. Attack the messenger, which only gives credence to the
message.
