Subject: RE: BS: The House that Jack {Abramoff} Built
In case anybody cares, I hope every crook in Washington gets caught and has a fair trial, Presidents, Congressmen, Democrats, Republicans, black, white, male female, Barneys, whatever. I don't care if Democrats take over Congress and the White house. It don't mean a shit to me. It is just the functioning of our government.
I think Lobbying should be illegal and I certainly don't approve of what Abramov did.
Now if we the people want to do something about it, we should fight lobbying which is the root of the Abramov evil. Lobbying is done by people thru organizationd like Indian Nations, Unions, AARP, etc, as well as big business like the drug industry, oil, auto, Etc.
One thing I especially deplore is how the hell did corporations get to have the same rights as a people? Is that in the Constitution?
Maybe we should demand the bill of rights be ammended with Thomas Jeffersons proposed "freedom of commerce against monopolies"
