Paid Lobbists?

Dear Susan,

First, all americans must insist that their representatives and senators make public where their wealth is invested in. I read an article that the collective wealth or net worth of the people who represent us in the house and senate is something like 16 billion dollars. I would bet two cigars that the bulk of that wealth is from investments in arab oil, just a guess. So? would they work to upset their royalties? no, they would work collectively to protect their investments and appease the mad mad world of the arabian peninsula,

to be fair, I must say that this is just a guess.

Larry
