17. I want her to release the transcripts of speeches up here paid for the two big banks

Thu May 12, 2016, 09:17 AM

May 2016

pushing the Keystone XL. Did she talk to them about pipeline safety? How to run a pig down the line? What??? Nah ....... she was voicing her support to them in getting it to pass, all while knowing she was going to run for President. She gave other speeches in various cities sponsored by other groups (mostly also paid for by those big banks) schooling us on 'Terror, Terror'! and how we need to be alert and ready. I guess she forgot Canada lost troops from the very beginning in some of the most dangerous areas in Afghanistan - and the hundreds committing suicide since getting back home. Reporters following the speeches asked her about the Keystone XL, which she never mentioned, and replied "No comment".

As a tax paying citizen, I want to know why my taxes helped pay for someone from another country to give speeches to backers of yet another pipeline that not only affects her own country but ours also.

And yes ............. I do have the right to know.
