Fri, 08/01/2008 - 12:59pm Washington, D.C. — Campaign Money Watch, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group, released the following statement today from David Donnelly, its director, in response to speeches given on the floor of the U.S. House urging a vote on oil drilling: “As members of Congress pull a stunt today on the floor of the House regarding oil drilling, Campaign Money Watch urges all voters and reporters to go to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics’ website, OpenSecrets.org, and review how much each member of Congress received from the oil and gas industry over their careers. These contributions from Big Oil, more than anything else, will tell you what you need to know about today’s Big Oil circus.” A list of all members of Congress, and the contributions they’ve received from the oil and gas industry, can be found at http://opensecrets.org/industries/summary.php?ind=E01&recipdetail=H&sortorder=A&cycle=All. Campaign Money Watch is a project of the nonpartisan Public Campaign Action Fund. The organization works to hold candidates who are against reform accountable for where they get their political donations. printer friendly version | 1133 reads
