As I wrote earlier this week, Lee Terry is, quite literally, the voice of well-financed special interests in the halls of Congress.

During debate on the historic health insurance reform bill, Lee Terry wasn't speaking for his constituents. He was speaking for special interest lobbyists who had contributed to his campaign.

This story has drawn national attention. Watch MSNBC's coverage and chip in $15, $25, or even $50 to help elect a representative who will speak for you, not the special interests. Click here to watch the video:

By using their words and filling his campaign coffers with their money, Lee Terry has clearly chosen to speak for the special interests in Washington instead of his constituents like you and me. He's turned his back on us, but we don't have to take it lying down.

Thanks for all you do,

Tom White

1. MSNBC

Although there is still room for some improvement, I must tip my hat to MSNBC for attempting to bring back some form of journalism.
Rachel, Keith and once in a while Ed Schultz seem to do a decent job of bringing things to light that most networks simply bury.
Dylan Ratigan seems to be doing well also.
