We must get money out of politics. It's nothing more than legalized bribery. Just insane.

Why do we allow this?

It makes no sense at all to let them do this to us. They distract us fighting the symptoms of thus corruption, we protest pipelines, we protest attacks on the ACA,... but the cause of these problems is the money!

We need to unite all of our Special Interests: Environment; women's rights; education; immigration; and so forth, to fight to remove the corruption these legal bribes are causing. We have lost Representative Democracy due to these bribes, Super PACs, Dark Money and the Revolving Door.

Why does Blake Farenthold want to serve out his term? To make these last votes for the money he took so one of these Donors will give him a cushy high paying job!

K&R for exposure

$1.6 Million from telecom

he reps the eastern half of the state which is filled with rwnjs and cowboy impersonators, but i bet they like their high-speed porn as much as anyone. Walden could be vulnerable.

mind-blowing amounts, and probably even more that we don't see "on the record"

i do know that The Dalles, one of the "borderline" towns on the northwest edge of eastern Oregon, just put up a major data center for Google.
https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/the-dalles/
now Google being what it is, i don't expect them to be impacted much by the negation of net neutrality, but that data center is expected to be a significant input to The Dalles' economy (and that of the surrounding area) for the next few decades. if the FCC, with Walden's support, in any way threatens this data center's viability, he will have a lot of splainin to do for his voting constituents. no amount of fake cowboy behavior will get his sorry ass off the hook if he jeopardizes this infrastructure's ability to function optimally.

Farenthold needed to buy some big boy pajamas, and Barton needed to buy a new phone after the screen on his last one mysteriously cracked.

Good grief, they are all slime!

so thanks for adding this important piece of information!

We should have known after his disgusting dick pic went viral -- Barton has taken over $1 million in donations from the telecom industry, and has supported repealing net neutrality. Time for Barton to resign.

You would think mine is on there. He's not (but the only Republican in NJ who's not in trouble).

Call call call call.

Upton looks like number 2

Keepin their heads down and their pockets full

Here’s hoping the light shining on these cucarachas will set them scurrying off the political stage next time around

Period.

Thanks for this link. Just two Californians on it. How I wish they could be the unseated in 2018. One was in my high school graduating class. I was valedictorian. He was not. I’ll just leave it there.

You coulda gotten more than a measly 600K for your prosto, judging from that list
