It's time to contact corporate contributors to Republican obstructionists
After watching 35 out of the nearly 41 hours of the Republican Talkathon on CSPAN, I came to the conclusion that intelligent, COMPASSIONATE human beings could not have consciously placed these miscreants in office. I have spent the last couple of hours searching www.opensecrets.org looking at just who has contributed to their ascension to the Senate. And I have taken it upon my self to begin a campaign asking the largest of the corporate donors to justify WHY they have contributed to these faux-politicians.

They do not have America's best interests at heart. We are witnessing the systematic destruction of the middle class by the Republicans, we are looking at the blatant destruction of the Veterans system, we are looking at the blatant destruction of the American manufacturing sector, and we are looking at the blatant denial of funds needed to improve the infrastructure, feed the hungry, and give our seniors a needed break on prescription drugs by the Majority. These aren't special interests; these are REAL AMERICANS with real needs.

Republicans have destroyed the process by which the country's business is run. And make no mistake about it, those of you who are still blinded by this will think back, as the Republican’s self-centered notion of piety reaches out and affects each and every one of us. The bills that need the MOST attention will languish until next year as those who are elected to do the PEOPLE'S BUSINESS take recess after today and thumb their nose at the American people.

It's time to ask corporate America to justify their political positions.

2. I did
but contributing to us still doesn't answer my question as to corporate responsibility and why they support the politicians they do.

3. So, are you going to share your findings with the rest of us?
Or are you going to make us whine, beg and plead for the info.? I'd be curious to know just how many are already on my list.

5. As soon as I complete it
I am trying to cross-reference which corporations also contributed to the Republicans as a whole. NOT a simple task. (Excell does help though)
