Monsanto, the giant bio-tech company (and one of the most socially irresponsible corporations in the world), just got a special provision in the House rewrite of the Toxic Substances Control Act. The so-called “Monsanto Clause” will make it harder for individuals and states to sue Monsanto for harms resulting from the toxic PCB chemical Monsanto used for decades.
This is the kind of corruption that goes to the heart of the “political revolution” Bernie is calling for. Monsanto spends more on lobbying than any other big agribusiness. Its former (and future) employees staff congressional committees and advise congressional leaders. Two Monsanto lobbyists are former congressman Vic Fazio and former senator Blanche Lincoln. Even Clarence Thomas was at one time an attorney for Monsanto.
We must take our democracy back from corporate America.

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
