Senators Who Oppose Public Health Care Option Received Millions in Campaign Contributions

Submitted by Johnny Papagiannis on Thu, 06/11/2009 - 8:43am.

The Public Campaign Action Fund issued a press release on Monday showing that the nine Senators who sent a letter to Pres. Obama opposing a public option for health care have received over $17 million in campaign contributions from the health care and insurance industries.

 

“Americans want a government that is responsive to our needs, not a Congress that listens to its donors from the insurance and health care industry,” commented David Donnelly, national campaigns director of Public Campaign Action Fund. “These Senators appear to be carrying water for their donors at the expense of advancing health care reform.”

clip on hair extensions are appropriate for semi-formal and casual weddings. While the turn around time for unique wedding invitations is typically better than engraved or thermographed options, you should still plan on ordering your hairstyles at least 4-6 weeks in advance.

Campaign finance abuses are a major stumbling block in our ystem. As a tax paying citizen I support all efforts to wipe out corruption in our system.

Well, let's see, human hair grows about ½" per month, so if your hair is at ear level, that would be almost two years to wait for that 'clip in hair extensions cascading down your back' look.As you glance across virtually every print medium such as newspapers, magazines and catalogs, there seems to be one thing in common as far as hair extensions cut styles is concerned. The long hair cut style is everywhere. So what are you supposed to do if you don't have long cheap hair extensions and you really want the long hair cut style?

That seems like a lot of money just for 9 senators. These guys must have seniority.

With that kind of compensation package, our Senators should be able to waive their salaries and save the taxpayers some money.

$17 million is a lot of money in campaign contributions for just nine senators. It's no wonder that the health care system is still broken.
