United States Congress – District 3

AIG spent $53,000 a DAY in 2008 lobbying congress. Let’s see how many days fell after they were bailed out? Did "taxpayer money" from the bailout go to lobbying or making campaign donations?

Top recipients of AIG campaign donations, 2008:

Obama, Barack $104,332
Dodd, Chris $103,900
McCain, John $59,499
Clinton, Hillary $37,965
Baucus, Max $24,750
Biden, Joseph R Jr $19,975
Larson, John B $19,750
Sununu, John E $18,500
Kanjorski, Paul E $12,000

Vote out all Democrats

send the democrats into the unemployment line! Ones word should be sacred

or if there running for a seat also
Or Governor

.
Yes.
But there ARE some restrictions.

The best way to find out what’s and who’s allowed is to click "DONATE" on a candidate’s website. There’s a list of REQUIRED-FIELD questions which you MUST answer; they relate to your employment and other eligibility-related queries. If you don’t answer the questions correctly (i.e., eligibly) you’ll get an error message. There’s also a $ limit and a frequency limit (annual), etc.

But yes: I’ve donated to lib/progressive Reps and Dems for the House and Senate and vets in many states. They are MORE THAN HAPPY to get out-of-state money. And TRUST ME on this: donate to ONE and you’ll be on many other donation-support-request lists from politicians SOON. I don’t mind: I either donate or not, but at least I’m being exposed to varying opinions, platforms, strategies, etc., all in an effort to remain a member of an informed electorate.

I would. we need to get rid of all of them and start over.

Yes I will

…along with the current GOP reps?

Yes, exceptions for those who tried to keep their promises and I don’t mean passing none binding resolutions. But those few who genuinely tried to cut of war funding and bring impeachment charges against Bushco should also be rewarded by the people

I’m sorry I’m not intelligent enough to understand whose ‘Jai Ho’ is it in those Congress campaign videos? India’s or Indians or economically backward Indians or Congress party or Sonia Gandhi or Slumdog millionaire movie…….I mean whose Jai Ho are we supposed to do?

Whose pictures do you see most of the time in the video? Of course it is Jai Ho for Sonia Maino and the clan Let them keep saying Jai ho for themselves but then one cant hide facts, here is the real JAI HO

In a startling revelation a British new website carried the report of Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali’s father trying to sell her. In a sting operation conducted by the website it said that in a bid to escape poverty and life in the slum Rafiq Qureshi had put Rubina up for adoption demanding a whopping 200000 pounds from an Arabian family.

Was he Democrat or Republican?
House of Rep. or Senate?

The most raced by someone running for congress:

Blair Hull, (D) IL – Senate – $29,063,018.

The most raised by someone already IN congress, running for re-election:

Tom Daschle, (D) SD – Senate – $19,349,884.

Seems like they are wasting our tax money and not doing thier jobs while they try to get elected. Not that it matters cuz congress doesn’t seem to be able to get anything done anyways.

They campaign and ignore Congress. I am of the opinion that if they are campaigning they need to take an unpaid leave from Congress. Not sure but maybe that would keep them thinking about what this country needs instead of what they need. It might shorten the campaign season down to a mere year instead of 2 or in some cases longer.

I closely watching this for last 2 years. All Indian & Foreign News Channels, if you believe it or not my favorite yahoo and google also join the campaign that supporting congress to form a government at the center. If you write against congress, your answer is removed or your question is removed or Yahoo violation notice or Even your Yahoo answers account is suspend. Why Yahoo, Google and all news channels supporting congress party that much. I don’t know. Please explain in detail

Simple. Material gain.
Media is worst hit by greed.
