VIDEO: "Clean Coal? Dirty Fraud"... and forged letters

By GottaLaff



This video is a great concise recap of the following:

Last month, Rep. Ed Markey (D-MA) announced a congressional investigation of the DC lobbying firm Bonner & Associates. The firm, which has a long history of astroturfing, was caught forging anti-clean energy reform letters — purportedly from groups representing women and people of color — to Congress. Coal front group American Coalition for Clean Coal Energy was eventually revealed to be Bonner’s client in the anti-clean energy campaign. Now, more forged letters have been uncovered.

Today, Markey revealed five new letters, and dozens more may be out there. According to a statement from Markey’s office, the faked letters came from “elderly services and senior centers” and were sent to Democratic Reps. Tom Periello (VA), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA), and Christopher Carney (PA).

This is what we're up against. They play dirty, and, hey! they also dirty our environment. Great combo.

I'm having a boatload of trouble trying to be funny today. I'm beyond steamed at what's been happening in this country of ours, so the humor just isn't bubbling up. If it's okay with you, I'll temporarily refer to myself as GottaScream.
