IN CASE YOU'VE BEEN WONDERING WHY JOHN CORNYN (R-TX) IS AT&T'S FAVORITE U.S. SENATOR...
>
While Rick Noriega was serving in the Texas National Guard in Afghanistan, John Cornyn was racking up the most anti-military personnel and anti-veteran voting record of anyone in the U.S. Senate. He was also racking up a breathtaking war chest of corporate contributions from every special interest under the sun-- and under the rocks. Although Cornyn's biggest individual campaign contributors were JP Morgan Chase & Co (over $61,000), the Bass Brothers (over $51,000) and Exxon Mobil (over $48,000), the telecom companies are also big fans and showered him with
Today Rick Noriega, a candidate for the Senate seat currently held by Cornyn, sent us a video he recorded about the FISA bill. There is no question how Rick would vote-- very differently from the way Cornyn already voted in February and very different from the way Cornyn has promised his financiers how he will vote when it comes up again. Give it a look-- and afterwards, if you'd like to see this honorable man in the Senate instead of an execrable one, visit our Blue America ActBlue page and consider a donation.
UPDATE: TEXANS ARE READY FOR SOME REAL CHANGE
Bye-bye Cornyn? A poll released today by Texas Lyceum, a statewide, non-partisan group, shows that Rick Noriega has caught up with the big-spending John Cornyn. The live interview poll has Noriega with 36% and John Cornyn at 38% with 24% undecided or unfocused on the race. The margin of error is 4.5%, greater than the difference between Cornyn and Noriega.

Just think of the bills coming due from all our great Democratic senators and reps. The telephone companies will have to shift some money from republicans for a year or so ..... then back to business as usual.
Will ActBlue still give contributions to Barak Obama even tho he abandoned to constitution on this issue?
hmmmm ........ maybe I do not understand how all the "Blue" pac's work?
wjbill, ActBlue is like PayPal, it's just a means of contributing for Democrats. It doesn't make decisions who to give the money to. Now, BLUE AMERICA is a PAC and we do make decisions and Barack Obama has never gotten any money from us. We donate to progressives running for Congress. We don't donate to presidential contenders.
