My apoligies for type casting. (That Etheridge donation is disturbing) I seem to recall someone at SAS hosting a Edwards fundraiser.

There is a John Sall at SAS who gave to Gore/Price/Etheridge and others in large amounts.

Sounds like they are equal opportunity givers without a company ideology. I can live with that.

If they are involved with gov. contracts and RTP, they probably cover all bases.

Mr. Inside/Mr. Outside? Give to both, and if Bowles wins, Sall shows up to collect instead? Hmmmm. Sounds like a distinct possibility.

Either way, SAS gets in, and Citizens for Good Government get to talk to a junior staffer who tells them how busy the Senator is......clinking scotch glasses with the guy from SAS.

We need to do something about corporate citizenship, standing in law, ..... and the Lobby. I'm tired of this. Tired of eating lobbyists' elbows on the issues. Millions of people are out of work who committed the sin of hitting age 45, and now their employers are looking at the contribution schedule on their pension plans dictated by the big uptick at age 50 under ERISA -- because the Lobby got into the bill in 1973 and marked it up in the middle of the night. Now we're stuck with a body rain of 45-to-55-year-old employees, and employers won't touch over-55's with a stick. Because of a bill marked up by the Lobby.

Bowels or Liddy say anything about that ?
