Not for sale

August 24, 2012
Williamsport Sun-Gazette

I have just seen a graphic on the Internet stating: "You're going to vote for Obama, what the **** is wrong with you". Let me tell you what is wrong.

I see a Republican candidate, Mitt Romney who accepted $10 million from casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, by far the biggest donor in American politics, and who told Forbes he is willing to spend $100 million to defeat President Obama.

Two more supporters of Republican funding are the Koch Brothers. Their industrial complexes have left a swath of pollution causing death and illness to countless citizens. One of their objectives is the abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency. The Kochs have contributed countless millions to Republicans and are rumored by Republican insider Roger Stone to have "purchased" Ryan's nomination for 100 million dollars. That would be a serious violation of the federal election laws.

In short, what's wrong with me is I don't like the company Romney keeps, and I don't think our governing bodies should be for sale.
