more reasons to vote for Barack Obama

In May of 2006 Barack Obama introduced a bill to the Senate that requires oil companies that made at least $1 billion in profits in the first quarter of 2006 to invest at least 1% of the their total reported first quarter 2006 profits into installing E-85 pumps. The bill was referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.

In January of 2007 Obama introduced a bill cited as the "Oil SENSE Act" to eliminate unnecessary tax breaks to the oil industry. A version of the bill was passed by House of Representatives in January 2007. The bill was referred to the Committee on Finance.

Taken from Obama's senate website: "Throughout his political career, Barack Obama has fought for open and honest government. As an Illinois State Senator, he helped pass the state’s first major ethics reform bill in 25 years. And as a U.S. Senator, he has spearheaded the effort to clean up Washington in the wake of numerous scandals.
In the first two weeks of the 110th Congress, Senator Obama helped lead the Senate to pass the Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act, a comprehensive ethics and lobbying reform bill, by a 96-2 vote.
The bill passed by the Senate closely mirrored a bill (S. 230) that Senators Obama and Feingold introduced in January 2007 to establish a “gold standard” for reform. Among the provisions in the Obama-Feingold bill that were adopted by the Senate were: strict bans on receiving gifts and meals from lobbyists; new rules to slow the revolving door between public and private sector service; and an end to the subsidized use of corporate jets.
Most importantly, the Senate-passed bill contained an Obama amendment to require the disclosure of contributions that registered lobbyists “bundle” – that is, collect or arrange – for candidates, leadership PACs, and party committees. The New York Times called this provision “the most sweeping” in the bill, and the Washington Post said: “No single change would add more to public understanding of how money really operates in Washington.” "

Its time for a change in our government. Its time for a president who doesn't have his/her hands in the pockets of the lobbying firms and giant corporatations. Its time for a president who is willing to introduce controversial laws to enact real change. Lets get Hillary out of the media spotlight and support a candidate who is not just another politician in the inner circles of DC.
