Okay, so we get the drift here. Major oil, electric, wind, and wall street "capital" managers donate. Yea, and a lot of AIDS foundations donate. Follow the money America, big business is in bed w/our government. Yet, most of you reading this will do nothing. I challenge you to write letters to Barack Obama urging him to explain Clinton's appointment to Secretary of State. These donors expect to get something from Clinton. Remember, SHE was supposed to be President, she lost, so Obama appointed her to the next best position. Despite the fact that all these donors are from big business and tax payer funded.

We the American public support Gateway, Microsoft, Wal-Mart...and they give YOUR money to Clinton to help w/what? NOOOO it's not help the poor, or spread democracy, it's to help their BUSINESS GROW AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH POLITICAL MEANS, NOT THROUGH CAPITALISM. These businesses and government are "paying" their way into globalization by buying off politicians like Hillary Clinton. And we the Americans are letting it happen. Of course we're letting it happen, Clinton has the propoganda machine, Fred Eychaner (sold his business to Rupert Murdoch the owner of all things televison), and the founder of BET. The news media is not going to say Clinton should step down, but we as a country should DEMAND she step down! And ask Obama what kind of "change" is coming with Clinton as Secretary of State?

What's wrong with tarring and feathering her, like we Americans used to do when our country was a true Democratic Republic? Oh, that's right, the USA is now the UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA...and we Americans do what is good for the "general" public. That means good-bye middle class, hello serfdom!
