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.

[snipped in the interest of good taste]

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.



I'm sure you've convinced yourself of that, Lu. It's a common character
flaw of right-wingnuts. You don't have a message.
