Lobbyist Superdelegates Tip Nomination Towards Hillary Clinton
The list contains lobbyists for Keystone XL, private prison group Geo, American Council of Life Insurers, News Corp (yeah, them, as in Fox News), Enron, Countrywide, U.S. Telecom Association, Coca-Cola, CitiGroup and others.
We wonder why this study found that, “The opinions of 90% of Americans have essentially no impact at all.” When we vote, we are not just voting for a candidate, but for a network of relationships which will be brought to bear on the governance of the country. It is determines who gets access, how agencies are staffed and, as the study shows, what actually gets done.
Somehow, I don’t think the folks listed in this article have my interests or the interests of anyone below the 1% in mind. Perhaps some crumbs to keep us in line.
UPDATE: Lady Libertine makes a good point, “here’s the link to the Move On Petition if anyone’s interested. Petitions can only do so much, we need a revolution.”
