8. I'm alway amazed at how little money it takes to manipulate Congress
Edited on Sun May-03-09 12:48 PM by Canuckistanian
600k? That's chump change to an Insurance company. They probably spend that much on stationery an office supplies.

But that 600k can stop a bill dead or get damaging amendments made to preserve the status quo.

And Nelson? He looks like a $5 hooker for taking it and being their chief spokesman.

GET. THE MONEY. OUT OF CAMPAIGN FINANCING.
