ICPurple Billionaire Money Doesn’t Bother Angus King
http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/anguskingtedwaitt.jpg
Is Angus King really disgusted with the system of billionaires using Super PACs to buy control over the political system? If that’s the case, then Mr. King should repudiate ICPurple and the money from Ted Waitt that is being used to promote the King for Senate campaign.

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/paulryan.jpg
Gap, Inc. is a company that specializes in making profits by taking jobs that could be held by American workers and sending those jobs to sweatshop factories in foreign countries.

http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/hollister-300x262.jpg

Congressman Jeff Denham’s Compressed Gas Party
http://irregulartimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/denhamjeff.jpg
Kathryn Lehman started out in politics in the 1990s, working for the ethically-challenged Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich. She has since discovered that there’s more money to be made working for corporations, so she’s traded in on her political contacts and now roams the halls of Congress working to influence American law on behalf of her corporate clients – including the Compressed Gas Association.
