12. Great work!!!!!!
Glad to Kick and rec this.

CSE is often described as a "consumer group," but according to internal documents leaked to the Washington Post, 85 percent of its 1998 funding came from major corporations. "The 'citizens' in question companies like Amoco, Bell Atlantic, Citibank, General Electric and General Motors", Washington Babylon explains (p. 15). "During recent years, the CSE, headed by C. Boyden Gray, who acted as counsel to the president under George W. Bush, has opposed health care reform and a rise in the minimum wage, while championing corporate tax cuts, deregulation and a balanced budget."

The more you dig the worse it gets.... Is this a corporately sponsored uprising? If so, we have a serious problem.

Can't wait to show your thread to DH. He's the one who figured out the August website registration.
