Big Oil companies donated over $13 million on elections in 2006, and they have already spent $37 million in lobbying expenditures this year. The web site for Follow the Oil Money tracks money accepted by members of the U.S. Congress. The web tool is at: http://oilmoney.priceofoil.org/federalRaceGraph.php?type=search
For example, the website reports that Kentucky Senator, Mitch McConnell, accepted $301,908 from the oil and gas industry since 2000. $168,308 of those dollars were from industry PACS. Senator McConnell supported Bill Oil in 100% of selected votes. With this kind of influence in Congress, is it any wonder our country is addicted to foreign oil and Big Oil is raking in BILLIONS of DOLLARS in profits each month?
