Big Oil Pumps More Than $1.2 Million Into Romney Super PAC
By Rebecca Leber on Feb 6, 2012 at 2:51 pm

<..> Romney’s campaign has raised at least $500,000 from the oil and gas industry, according to Open Secrets. But his super PAC allows special interests another chance to exert their influence. While many of the super PAC’s donors come from the financial sector, coal, oil, and gas have also flocked to Restore Our Future:

Coal mining:
– Oxbow Carbon:$750,000
– Oxbow President Bill Koch: $250,000
– Consol Energy: $150,000

Oil and Gas:
– Ballard Exploration: $25,000
– Bassoe Offshore President Jonathan Fairbanks: $25,000
– Murphy Wade of Murphy Oil Corporation: $15,000
– Joseph Grigg of American Energy Operations: $5,000
– Total for oil, gas, and coal: $1,220,000

<..> You can expect Romney to sound suspiciously like his rich polluting backers, as dirty money continues to flood Restore Our Future and Romney’s campaign stash.

Willard also gets the big money from Wall Street. Is there anyone clean who donates to him?

This is getting so out of hand.

Thanks, SOCTUS.

I'm to the point of wanting a Super PAC for President Obama. A few secret donors....and the repubs would howl.

[Ikonoklast]

Cheap bastards, that's chump change to them, literally.

They must have found that much money laying around in their sock drawer, and sent it in.

where President Obama represents the American people and Mitt represents the 1% and big corporations.

[OptimistesMaddie]

Why? The Republicans and their bought and paid for Supreme Court created this environment.

Why should the president compete with one hand behind his back? Enough is enough.....it's the right time and the right place to act.
