Sen. Cory Gardner: Polluter of the Year
The carrot is political lobbying and funding from corporations, the stick is pollution and cutting corners. This senator from #Colorado is a classic example of how easy it is to buy a politician.
Conservation Colorado, reports, "From climate change to public lands to administrative nominees, the report assesses Gardner’s votes on the environment, highlights five instances of issues on which he is out of touch with Coloradans." https://conservationco.org/2019/06/12/press-new-report-details-colorado-sized-gulf-between-senator-cory-gardners-environmental-rhetoric-and-record/
Considering he has raised millions, which basically, makes him a millionaire. He still feels the need for more, and has no issue with accepting nearly a million dollars of political funding from oil & gas businesses. Is the proof in the pudding Cory Gardner vote is secured, and now is only a puppet for corporate interests, that dances when told? https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=N00030780
Ahh, the American dream to become a millionaire from public service in the US government.
Furthermore, please tell me what exactly does a politician do with all the millions of political funding they've raised from corporations, especially when they're not re-elected? Like when Cory loses his seat in congress.
There is no transparency, so it's fair to assume they (He) probably, just renovates their kitchen in their brand newly built mansion on a golf course. Of course they use leftover campaign funding to buy it for themselves, right? Surely, I don't see him pursuing a career in philanthropy and building low-income housing with his political donations; not with his track record. Once, you sell your soul to the money god, there is no going back...seems the case for US Politicians like Cory Gardner.
For, the environments sake and Coloradans everywhere. Really, truly, honestly, I envision this puppet loses his seat in the senate, and is replaced, pronto! Mr. Gardner do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to jail for polluting on Colorado lands for temporary jobs and corporate financial interests. Next time you take money, you will always know your vote is secured in their interests.
