Politicans selling themselves for money

Nothing new right. I mean the do it all the time. Here is just a few of the new ones. Emails are being sent to lobbyist groups. For a price they can get "face time" with our elected officials. Here are a few samples. WASHINGTON – Here's a peek at e-mails popping into lobbyists' inboxes these days offering quality time with members of Congress: _A weekend at the Clearwater, Fla., spring training home of the world champion Philadelphia Phillies with Rep. Allyson Schwartz, D-Pa., including a game, a meeting with players and a ballpark tour. _Golf at a Montana course designed by Arnold Palmer and fly fishing on the state's Madison, Gallatin and Yellowstone rivers with Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont. _A "Saint Patrick's Day on the Rio Grande" reception at a Tex-Mex restaurant near the Capitol with Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas. How do you get to goes to these places and meet with these elected officials? Well contribute a lot and I mean tons of money to the elected officials in question. "Members of Congress would like your help getting in re-elected, and contributors can spend time with them". So it looks like our elected officials are pimping themselves out again. You can guess for all that money that strings are going to attached. Naming passing laws that are in the lobbyist groups intersest and totally forgetting the average american. Why do we allow this? Our elected officials are bought and paid for. And not by the people who pay their salaries. When will we say enough is enough and DEMAND that lobbyist and special intersted groups get kicked out of washington and out of our government. What do you think?
