Thank you for holding it on line so that I could listen at 8 this evening. I am calling my NJ Senators and also the members of the Judiciary Committee. The Bush administration gets away this crap because no one actual believes that anybody would lie and cheat so openly, therefore they must be telling the truth (the bigger the lie, the more it is accepted). Enough!</p> Excellent interview FDL with Senator Dodd. Thank you for holding it on line so that I could listen at 8 this evening.

Does anyone know where HRC stands on this? With Verizon having significant operations in NYC, I imagine they are hefty contributors, which might account for her being quiet on this issue.

Hillary — Republican-Lite for Corporations!

I cannot see any risk, but I wonder what you think, based on what more you know than has been publicly disclosed.

A few questions:

It appears that many of our politicians literally resent having to actually representing their constituents – why is this the case?

How can we ever “buy” our corporate beholden politicians back if the mega corporations can reliably tilt the playing field to their advantage with their endless stream of lobbyists and their endless supply of campaign money?

It is pretty clear that the electorate can no longer trust any politicians, why should we trust you?

Since we individuals are being taxed without any actual representation, is it time for another tea party?

Thank you for your willingness to stand up and fight, Senator Dodd. I think the whole country has been waiting for this since they handed the Democrats a majority in 2006. . . .
