Today's Boston Globe has an article on the heavy spending on Scott Brown's campaign for the US Senate in Massachussetts from executives at financial institutions:
In a six-day span just before the US Senate election, Republican Scott Brown collected nearly $450,000 from donors who work at financial companies, a sign the industry is prepared to spend heavily in the upcoming midterm elections to beat back new controls and taxes President Obama wants to impose.
...and this was before Citizens United. So, oh no, we don't have to worry about corporations running our country.
Most of these donors were from out of state.
Scott Brown has said he's going to be an "independent" Republican. The surest sign he can give that he's going to be independent is by voting with President Obama in favor of regulating the financial industry, starting with the proposed tax to help repay the US Government for saving their ass(ets) in the bank bailout.
Join me in challenging Senator-elect Brown to pledge to buck the demands of his new-found friends, who flooded his coffers after President Obama proposed the financial industry fees.
Or, he can just admit he's their slave.
Man up, Senator.
