The REAL McCain
The REAL McCain
By Brave New Films
Gas prices are hitting all-time highs. Our country is in the
midst of a recession thanks in part to our crippling dependence on oil,
so what's John McCain's plan? Will he hold the corporate leaders
of the energy industry accountable when he addresses them today in
Houston? Probably not, considering they are some of his biggest fund-raisers.
The Center for Responsive Politics finds that McCain has accepted over
$1 million from the oil and gas industry. Many of McCain's top
advisers have lobbied for big oil, which is why he now acts in their
best interests, opposing environmental legislation and alternative
energy plans. And that's exactly why we want everyone to know The
REAL McCain.
McCain is desperate to distance himself from President Bush. But
according to the Center for American Progress Action Fund, McCain has
received millions in donations from the same oil, coal, nuclear,
chemical, utility, and auto companies that helped the Bush
administration create its energy plan-a plan that has raised gasoline
to $4 a gallon.

they know. And don't forget to Digg it! Spread the word
that McCain is taking major contributions from wealthy oil executives

addressing in Houston.
