Google Inc $57,901
Microsoft Corp $50,073 - StormCommander, on 10/01/2008, -3/+32I live in CT. Chris Dodd, Joe Lieberman. Birthplace of George Bush. Most taxed state in the country. DONT COME HERE RUN AWAY RUN AWAY
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -2/+30Financial crisis: Royal Bank of Scotland set for turmoil after biggest fall in 20 years
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/f ...
RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) will get 'billions' in US bail-out of economy
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboa ... - Trustar247, on 10/01/2008, -1/+22And those contributions are from the sums of small individual gifts from service members and company employees. Not corporate donations. Ron Paul, the most honest and most liked politician in the armed forces! Yes spread the word!
- magoghm, on 10/01/2008, -2/+23Kick all the crooks out!
Grassroots Action for HR 2755
http://digg.com/politics/Grassroots_Action_for_HR_ ...
"While it is unlikely that this bill as a stand-alone piece of legislation will make it out of committee, it is possible that similar language be written into the “solution” that the committee is now re-working." - Thinbev, on 10/01/2008, -3/+22No guys, Dodd is a good guy... He really cares about the people (sarcasm)
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -2/+20American International Group $224,678 AIG!!!!
- odigity, on 10/01/2008, -1/+19Come here, instead:
http://freestateproject.org/ - Acrinimiril, on 10/01/2008, -2/+19After the Federal Reserve's $85 billion bailout of AIG!
AIG should be in the title! - hiphoc, on 10/01/2008, -0/+16Great idea. But of late I am beginning to think that cops and people at the US attorneys general office and AG's of the several states are more interested in protecting politicians, not the people.
- gmason08, on 10/01/2008, -0/+15Dodd top 5:
Citigroup Inc $314,694
SAC Capital Partners $282,000
United Technologies $263,400
Royal Bank of Scotland $229,950
American International Group $224,678
Citigroup, RBS, AIG and SAC Capital Partners, not familiar with that last one but I do not think it is necessary to look them up to draw the same conclusion as with the first three. - ozel01, on 10/01/2008, -1/+15I agree completely, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank and a host of others need to go!
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -1/+14"I'm Chris Dodd, and I approved of those bad loans"
- Thanehand, on 10/01/2008, -0/+9What spin? You've pointed out exactly what we've been arguing all along -- McCain and Obama are poor choices. Thank you. Now spread the word about what you found.
- StormCommander, on 10/01/2008, -1/+9Yah, I'll probably move to NH eventually...
- ThinkOutTheBox, on 10/01/2008, -0/+8America International Group = AIG the ones that just got 85 billion
- sigg14, on 10/01/2008, -0/+8I don't think he is referring to Paul supporters when he says "paultards" he is referring to the pathetic piece of human excrement who has the digg user name "paultards"
- DerangedPenguin, on 10/01/2008, -0/+7Amen!
- JRuined, on 10/01/2008, -1/+7I'm trying to run away, but they've taxed my legs away. Now I'm stuck in Middletown, wheeling myself around on a skateboard begging for alms. The horror.
Yes I realize that's in bad taste, but StormCommander has it right. RUN AWAY. Can't wait to have the chance to vote Dodd away, or see him thrown in prison. Whichever comes first. - M4dC0ns3rv4tive, on 10/02/2008, -0/+6Dodd should return the contributions as his "down payment" on the bailout.
- Acrinimiril, on 10/01/2008, -0/+5Wrong, that's the difference between Ron Paul and John McCain.
When wealthy bankers offer Ron Paul money, he turns it down.
He even turns down participating in the lucrative congressional pension plan because he does not believe in congress even excessively spending on himself.
Name another statesman that does that! - doctorfungi, on 10/02/2008, -0/+5Take Chris Cox and Barnie Frank with him.
- aadyss, on 10/01/2008, -0/+4Perhaps the entire U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee and the House Financial Services Committee need to resign. We can start all over again with new members.
Have you seen that the Senate has bumped the bailout up to 850B. So much for Obama and McCain fiscal policies.
We need to do something but throwing out the committees and 'Acorn' is a good start. Then go after Wall Street. - WWFP, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3They're robbing us blind!
Are you tired of being threatened by your own government?
Are you tired of paying trillions of dollars for endless government-declared crisis?
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to take our country back. - DerangedPenguin, on 10/01/2008, -1/+4And releasing them of the burden of unspent money in their wallets.
- Acrinimiril, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3That would be honorable.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -0/+3Must begin LOCAL and support vote out of all our traitors who voted Aye! Even if yours is not up for re-election in Nov., chip in to help another State!
http://www.voterbomb.com/2008/node/4 - inactive, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3Remind Congress there are more Voters than Lobbyists.
Give 'em all the Pink Slip this November. - IndianXC, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3Citizen's arrest anyone?
- mediaspree, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3I bet all these Washington types slept alot easier before the internet was available to share all of their high crimes and incompetence.
- inactive, on 10/02/2008, -0/+3Term limit for senators and reps. should be 7 years max. These people have been loitering the halls of DC way too long.
- inactive, on 10/02/2008, -0/+2Plimpton777: $2300
- DealCracker, on 10/02/2008, -1/+3Why don't we ask Mr Dodd and Mr Frank to contribute there ill gotten earnings as a down payment on the the $700B....before they go.
- mediaspree, on 10/02/2008, -0/+2Mediaspree: $528
- inactive, on 10/02/2008, -0/+1FUKC YOU FRANK!
Sorry, wrong Frank... - DerangedPenguin, on 10/01/2008, -1/+2Damn it I was trying to keep Freestateproject under the radar until I can get moved up from NYC to New Hampshire next year. There are only just some many jobs in New Hampshire. Oh wait if things work out correctly New Hampshire will become a hot bed of new industry and jobs.
- Aleman360, on 10/02/2008, -1/+2Every politician gets money from lobbyists. Yay for sensationalism!
- Acrinimiril, on 10/02/2008, -0/+1Yet, she's perfectly fine, working for McCain.
That is selling out. - inactive, on 10/01/2008, -3/+3Sarah Palin, who rejected the perks of the previous governor.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -8/+5All this tells me is John McCain's highest contribution was still lower then EVERY SINGLE ONE of Obama's except for the one at the very end. Secondly, Ron Paul would get tons of contributions from the same companies, but he's inconsequential and makes no difference. Are you even stopping to wonder where they offered the money? Of course not, because he doesn't matter. He'd take it in a heartbeat if they did.
