Congresswoman Louise M. Slaughter | Expose the Costs of Republican Culture of Corruption

Expose the Costs of Republican Culture of Corruption

Now more than ever it is important for us to turn up the heat on Republicans in Washington. A true culture of corruption has developed under today's Republican Congress and Republican White House, and the real-life costs it has, and continues to have, for everyday Americans are staggering. The recent, and unprecedented, subversion of our legislative process and federal government is not simply an "inside the beltway" problem. America - all of America - is literally for sale. Our government is working on behalf of the special interests, not the public interest, and the time for a change is long overdue. If each us convince just two friends to read Rep. Slaughter's report, America for Sale: The Cost of Republican Corruption, we can get the message out that our government is working on behalf of the special interests, not the public interest.

Together we can create the change we seek...a Congress that is not selling out America to special interests. Use the form below to recruit your friends to join our call.

Message:	Last week, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the ranking member of the House Rules Committee released a report, America for Sale: The Cost of Republican Corruption, which explains how the Republican culture of corruption is harming our country. For the first time, this report tries to quantify the damage the Republican Congress and Bush White House have inflicted on our country. It shows how the harmful policies Republicans have passed into law over the past few years are the result of a corrupt process that gives "K Street Project" lobbyists more power to shape legislation than the legislators the people have elected to represent them in Washington. To view and to read the report in its entirety, click here: http://www.democraticleader.house.gov/pdf/AmericaForSale.pdf I urge you to read this report and share it with your family, friends, neighbors who may not be as politically plugged in as you all. They have a right to know that their government is working on behalf of the special interests, not the public interest. The report clearly demonstrates that when the GOP Congressional leaders allow Republican lobbyists to set the agenda and write the bills, the American people suffer the consequences. While the special interests walk away with billions of dollars in tax breaks, subsidies, and federal contracts, Americans must live with the bad laws this system produces. The political corruption we associate with now-notorious figures such as Duke Cunningham and Jack Abramoff comes at a very real cost to each and every one of us.
