As National Press Secretary for the Reform Party USA back in 2004, I was well aware of Ralph Nader's presidential campaign attempt to relate to the American public of the amount of control corporations, even multi-national corporations, had of Congress and the Presidency. I am still becoming more convinced of it as I watch the money-in-politics scene on the internet this very day. For instance, on a post on Sirotablog, David Sirota recounts how the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) has been heavily financed by large corporations. Now, the DLC is not a group of Congressmen, nor a political party; yet, it is influential in the Democratic Party, and has in its caucus members of Congress. Where does big money end in Washington? I have yet to find out...
