NASCAR Uniformed Politicians
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 07:25 PM by optimal-tomato
With Landrieu's vocal opposition to the public option this week, I wanted to make another of these. These logos are among the top 15 or so of her campaign contributors, according to OpenSecrets.org. In all honesty, I was surprised who funded her. Of the top 20, most of them were oil/marine based or law firms, not health insurance companies. Unfortunately, ActBlue was there, too. But that's why I wanted to do this in the first place. When we see our elected officials, we should always remember who's money put them there.



In case you missed it, here's Blanche Lincoln, who I did earlier. She's been more and more in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. And in case anyone thinks I'm being sexist in only targeting the women in the Senate, I can just say I'm sorry. I plan to do Lieberman next, but after that, I'll do a man. I promise.

6. That's my plan right now.
Lieberman probably next, because he's really getting on my nerves. Nelson is next. After that, I'll probably take a look at who's in the news.

5. Excellent work!!! I hope you can eventually
make one for each congressperson. They should be plastered everywhere to expose the real agenda of our bought-and-paid-for govt. I'd offer to help, but my Photoshop skills aren't quite that developed.

9. Lemme know if you need help coming up with the "owners"
of the Congress people.
I hope you will be able to do a whole set, and that HuffPo and TPM and other blogs will post them prominently.
As for me, I am making my own collection and thank you in advance for these.

Well done...very well done.

Send it Rachel, too.
