ARII’s Dirty Dozen: Dan Lungren and Big Oil

Monday, October 1st, 2012 by

Rather than being villain turned hero, as in the television version of The Dirty Dozen–The Deadly Mission, our version of The Dirty Dozen is even more sinister. ARII’s Dirty Dozen are agents—bought by global money interests—from the three branches of American government. They are congressmen, Supreme Court justices, and presidents gone rogue. How have they defrauded us?

Dan Lungren

REWARD

A Cleaner Environment

Dan Lungren’s voting record on energy and oil demonstrates the value he places on the average American’s success and well-being:

  • Voted YES on opening Outer Continental Shelf to oil drilling. (May 2011)
  • Voted YES on barring EPA from regulating greenhouse gases. (Apr 2011)
  • Voted NO on enforcing limits on CO2 global warming pollution. (Jun 2009)
  • Voted NO on tax credits for renewable electricity, with PAYGO offsets. (Sep 2008)

  • Rated 0% by the CAF, indicating opposition to energy independence. (Dec 2006)
  • Bar greenhouse gases from Clean Air Act rules. (Jan 2009)

If you think this is bad, you’ll be livid after you check out Dan Lungren’s voting record on Abortion, Budget and Economy, Civil Rights, Corporations, Crime, Education, Environment, Family and Children, Free Trade, Health Care, Homeland Security, Immigration, Jobs, Principles and Values (Separation of church-state), Tax Reform, Technology, War and Peace, Welfare and Poverty.

Dan Lungren stars in a video clip where he sets the record straight regarding how what he thinks of you: ” I didn’t run for office to do anything for you.”

ARII’s Dirty Dozen: Romney’s Potential Criminal Liability

Friday, September 28th, 2012 by

Rather than being villain turned hero, as in the television version of The Dirty Dozen–The Deadly Mission, our version of The Dirty Dozen is even more sinister. ARII’s Dirty Dozen are agents—bought by global money interests—from the three branches of American government, the Federal Reserve, and a candidate for president. They are congressmen, Supreme Court justices, presidents, a Federal Reserve chairman, and political candidates gone rogue. How have they defrauded us?

WANTED

For Potential Criminal Liability

Mitt Romney

REWARD

Integrity in the Presidency

Justin Ruben, Executive Director of MoveOn.org Political Action, has requested the U.S. Department of Justice to “initiate an investigation into whether the Republican nominee for President, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, violated the False Statements Act… for stating unequivocally, on his personal financial disclosure form… that he was ‘not involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way’ after February 12, 1999.”

As explained in detail in a memo prepared by the MoveOn.org Political Action counsel, “there is substantial evidence that Governor Romney was in fact involved in the operations of Bain Capital entities after that date. Indeed, it is undisputed that Gov. Romney was the sole director, Chief Executive Officer and President of Bain Capital, Inc. at least through the middle of 2000. The notion that he occupied these positions with absolutely no involvement in the operations of Bain Capital Inc. is inconsistent with the requirements of applicable law and the reported facts concerning his relationship to Bain at that time.

“The purpose of requiring candidates to file a personal financial disclosure form, under the Ethics in Government Act, is to ensure that the electorate is fully informed about the financial interests and fiduciary and other positions of the candidates. For a candidate to make misrepresentations on that form is not only a federal crime but a serious breach of the public trust.”

REWARD

A New Congress—A $104M Payback

When John Boehner became House Speaker on November 17, 2010, he pledged: “Helping Americans get back to work is our number one priority, and we’re going to do everything we can to help create jobs and to boost our economy.”

Romney’s 47% of Americans are dependent on government remark, prompted Boehner to reiterate, “This election is about jobs, we’ve said it for 20 months and it hasn’t changed… The message is let’s stay focused on jobs because that’s what the American people want.” However, during the latter half of the week of September 10, Congress bickered “over whether or not to support veterans,” then the GOP “killed the Veterans Jobs Corps Act of 2012.”

Bob Schieffer of CBS News reports that the 112th Congress “managed to get through last year without passing one single piece of significant legislation.” Or, more pointedly, FreakOutNation said, “To deem this group as a ‘do-nothing Congress’ is being generous.”

Rank and file members of Congress earn an annual salary of $174,000 while the house and senate leaders earn $193,400. The Speaker of the house takes home $223,500. This comes to a grand total of nearly $104M. The 40 Republican Senators listed above who sent our servicemen into harm’s way and then “blocked jobs for veteransshould resign in shame and be required to repay $104M to the American people for doing nothing to provide jobs and self-respect to our veterans.
