Hey there,Ever wonder why we give $35 billion of our tax dollars to oil companies?
I don't wonder, I know. Because I just followed the money.
This year alone, Big Oil companies like BP and ExxonMobil gave over $11 million to candidates for Congress and a staggering $8 million to sitting members. In fact, Big Oil has given an average of $34,647 to each U.S. senator. And, like clockwork, the Senate voted in favor of those $35 billion in tax breaks and subsidies to Big Oil, even during the world's most disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
They sided with Big Oil, not with the voters. They took the money and ran. If you're as tired of the greasy, dirty politics of Washington as I am, help me clean up the Senate by signing this petition. Over 65,000 people already have, and you can help by focusing on your own senators.
