I did a search on this report and couldn't find any diaries. I don't have much to add to this except that I can't figure out why the story is not getting any traction. As far as I'm concerned:
This is huge!
The McCain Family business is one of the strongest lobbyists against drunk driving laws and other efforts to curb irresponsible use of alcohol among young drinkers.
McCain's fracking son is a lobbyist involved in opposing MOthers Against Drunk Drivers (MAAD). Their company is one of the largest contributors to fighting MAAD and other such organizations.
This like opposing Apple pie, and I have to think that it's going to give pause to a lot of Middle Americans and people of faith - if they ever find out.....
McCain beer ties might brew conflicts
Hensley, one of the nation's major beer wholesalers, has brought the family of Cindy McCain wealth, prestige and influence in Phoenix, but it could create conflicts for her husband, Sen. John McCain, if he is elected president.
Hensley, founded by Cindy McCain's late father, holds federal and state licenses to distribute beer and lobbies regulatory agencies on alcohol issues that involve health and safety.
It has opposed groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in fighting proposed federal rules that would require alcohol-content information on every package of beer, wine and liquor.
Its executives, including McCain's son Andrew, have written at least 10 letters to the U.S. Treasury Department, contributed tens of thousands of dollars to a beer-industry political-action panel and hold a seat on the board of the powerful National Beer Wholesalers Association.
The company also has run afoul of health-advocacy groups that have tried to rein in appeals to young drinkers. Hensley, for example, distributes caffeinated alcohol drinks that public-health groups say put young and underage consumers at risk by disguising the effects of intoxication.
