Separation of Oil and state. Play the video, you can put in your area code and find out who got money from big oil and how often they voted their way.

but everybody got something

edit: even someone who has a job as 'gas station owner' or works at the local gas company, but donates to his campaign shows up as 'oil money'

10. McCain has way more contributions though
and if you look at the job profiles, his are from Executives, VP's, Managers, Corporate Attorneys, not your regular employee

12. Great website, Joanne98! - thanks for posting
and I have been hearing Thom Hartmann make several references to Democratic Underground lately on his show. I don't recall the subject, but he mentioned something that Joanne98 had posted! Good job!:thumbsup:

13. For some reason when I put in my zip code,
it just kept loading and loading, but nothing came up. I'm in Georgia, so I know the Repukes got money from big oil.

14. Thanks for posting that.
Its a great site and a really good source for a little something extra to add to the bottom of the FAX I will be sending those Reptilian whining about more drilling. A re-sized photo of their oil dollars from big oil ought to help get the message across when they are bloviating about more drilling and increased domestic oil production.

Actually, Jim DimWitt got more than Lindsey Oilin' (aka "Five-Rugs-Five-Dollars") Graham did.

Great site!
