PatV's JournalI am now blocked from the Hillary Group. Thank you person named Cha.
Hell, if I'd have looked and known there was a 'Hillary Group' I'd have explored it by now for shits and giggles. Okay, I just looked. I don't see a Hillary Group in the Forums list (and don't care enough to click on every forum). Where is this thing so I don't get 'in' it again?
Soooooo. Does Sanders have a 'Group' somewhere?
"The Nation" Endorses Sanders! Investigates Clinton's Fossil Fuel Ties
As the pivotal New York State primary nears, The Nation, has weighed in on Hillary Clintons connections to the fossil fuel industry.
And endorsed Bernie Sanders for president.
The venerable magazines Naomi Klein finds Clintons industry connections far more extensive than have been debated recently after the candidate was confronted by Greenpeace volunteer Eva Resnick-Day.
Klein writes:
First, some facts. Hillary Clintons campaign, including her Super PAC, has received a lot of money from the employees and registered lobbyists of fossil-fuel companies. Theres the much-cited $4.5 million that Greenpeace calculated, which includes bundling by lobbyists.
But thats not all. There is also a lot more money from sources not included in those calculations. For instance, one of Clintons most prominent and active financial backers is Warren Buffett. While he owns a large mix of assets, Buffett is up to his eyeballs in coal, including coal transportation and some of the dirtiest coal-fired power plants in the country.
Then theres all the cash that fossil-fuel companies have directly pumped into the Clinton Foundation. In recent years, Exxon, Shell, ConocoPhillips, and Chevron have all contributed to the foundation. An investigation in the International Business Times just revealed that at least two of these oil companies were part of an effort to lobby Clintons State Department about the Alberta tar sands, a massive deposit of extra-dirty oil.

First time I ever tried blockquote. I hope it means what I think it does.
Hahahaha! The actual invitation...
?1460140225Hi! My name is Patv and I just made 10 posts and read where I should introduce
myself on the Welcome & Help Forum.
I lurked here a few days before joining. I joined because it said DEMOCRATIC Underground. I am only working part-time and I just got a new laptop for Christmas so I'm spending a lot of time on the internet. This place looked interesting so I joined.
I feel real welcome, real welcome. I've already been called a troll. For posting something relevant to an on-going thread. Thanks!
