Who’s Calling the Tunes?


The source of this is apparently an e-mail that’s circulating widely:

Members of Congress should be required to wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could identify their CORPORATE SPONSORS.

If you also get a chuckle out of this, that’s a good indication of the truth that lies behind it. ‘Nuf said.

Click here for 4 searches of campaign contributions in the Federal Election Commission’s Disclosure Data Search. You might give it a try for your elected official. However, it looks like they’ve got the sponsors’ true identities pretty well buried behind committee names.

Click here to contact your representatives in Washington, D.C.:
Our Elected Officials. Tell them you would be opposed to continued corporate sponsorship of political candidates.

    We might not get the clothes thing done BUT the doors to all of those offices belong to “we the people”. What about a Letterman Top Ten List of “supporters” covering them and to be changed at least as frequent as Labor Day before the next general election – now that’s my kinda FUN….
