Visit a site called: "opensecrets.org " for an interesting look at the "Hard-money" contributions to the Republican & Democratic parties. One of the top-five contributors to Republicans is ENRON, another is the N.R.A.; further down the list are ALL of the phamaceutical manufactures, and appearing at #2 is A TOBACCO COMPANY! A similar comparison of Democratic Party contributions reveals that SEVEN OUT OF TEN are unions!! (You remember them... those organizations of WORKING Americans, who try to protect themselves from corporate-greed!!) This list CLEARLY illustrates EXACTLY WHO the president and the Republican Congress ACTUALLY WORK FOR!! Is it any wonder that new layers of bureaucracy (and cost) have been added to the Medicare program?? Is it any wonder that ENRON intentionally manipulated the "rolling-blackouts" in California, to usurp the Democrat Governor andreplace him with a Republican "puppet"? These figures are the BEST argument for "Public-funding" of all Federal elections!!
