Democratic Lawmaker Pushing Immunity Is Newly Flush With Telco Cash
By Ryan Singel October 18, 2007


Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-West Virginia) is reportedly steering the secretive Senate Intelligence Committee to give retroactive immunity to telecoms that helped the government secretly spy on Americans.

He has also recently benefited from some interesting political contributions.

Top Verizon executives, including CEO Ivan Seidenberg and President Dennis Strigl, wrote personal checks to Rockefeller totaling $23,500 in March, 2007. Prior to that apparently coordinated flurry of 29 donations, only one of those executives had ever donated to Rockefeller (at least while working for Verizon).

In fact, prior to 2007, contributions to Rockefeller from company executives at AT&T and Verizon were mostly non-existent.

IF YOU'RE ON THE COMMITTEE NEGOTIATING THIS ISSUE HOW THE FUCK DO YOU TAKE MONEY FROM THE COMPANIES INVOLVED????? ARE THESE PEOPLE COMPLETELY INSANE???HARRY? LITTLE LEADERSHIP? STRIP THE BASTARD OF HIS COMMITTEE POST

...but you can't take the $Rockefeller$ out of Jay.;)

Jay Rockefeller is bought and paid for.

Corporate money has absolutely contaminated the entire political process.
