The Newark Advocate has an opinion piece that might grab a lot of attention:
...I find it outrageous that he (Rep. Pat Tiberi) has the unmitigated nerve to criticize the president on his State of the Union address. There couldn’t be anyone in Congress who has done less for working families in their district than Pat Tiberi.....
....It’s time to show Pat Tiberi the unemployment line....
Tiberi, who follows John Boehner around like a puppy, doesn't seem to be able to think on his own. He follows the party line, speaks the talking points, and upholds the rights of bankers and corporations over those of people.
>>> Once a bank lobbyist, always a bank lobbyist??? Republican candidate for congress, Steve Stivers, continues to hang out with bank lobbyists. The Financial Services Roundtable, the top lobbying group for big banks, held a fundraiser for Stivers (source: Financial Services Rountable). According to the FEC (Federal Elections Commission), the Financial Services Roundtable PAC has rewarded Stivers with some hefty contributions:
9/29/09 - Financial Services Roundtable PAC gave $1000 to the Stivers committee.
11/17/09 - Financial Services Roundtable PAC gave $2000 to the Stivers committee.
(Note: the Financial Services Roundtable PAC gave $5000 to the Stivers committe for his 2008 run.)
Looks like the love affair between Stivers and the banking industry continues.
