As for our skunks; They promise campaign finance reform bills and never pass them. This is the key, maintain the status quo. There are more "lobbyists" in DC than ever!

Of course nobody will ever admit to this, so it's hard to judge. Answered by TMW - Sun Sep 13 15:22:03 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "senate" |
