when a candidate accepts donations from the big corporate lobbyists, that candidate virtually becomes an employee of the corporations. Thus, when that candidate becomes president, regardless of what that candidate may say or how vociferously that candidate will deny it, he or she owes his or her livelihood to the corporations and represents them. Thus, when the candidate, now president, sits at the negotiating table with the lobbyists for the corporations, there is only one party represented at that negotiating table -- the corporations. That is the way it is now in D.C. No matter where you go, most of the members of Congress and the administration owe their positions to corporate money. Thus the Congress members and the administration serve the same employer -- the huge multinational corporations -- Walmart, Halliburton, Eli Lilly, etc. They only serve us the people to the extent they absolutely have to to avoid our catching on.

Hillary is taking money from corporate lobbyists. If she is elected, she will be in their pay. The Des Moines Register also relies on the big multinational corporations for its income -- from their ad placements. The Des Moines Register, therefore, puts the interests of the multinationals first. Its editors state clearly that that is why they prefer Hillary. They are entitled to prefer her. So are you. But realize that your vote for Hillary is a vote for a person who will get along so well with big business because she is, in reality, its employee. Go ahead and vote for that.

But, remember, as long as we have a corporate employee in the White House and as long as corporate employees dominate in Congress, we will not have significant change -- not in the laws and regulations on the environment, on labor law, on healthcare, on world issues, not on anything. We will keep NAFTA pretty much as it is. We will not win the struggle to heal the environment. The polar bears will die just as other wildlife is now dying. And it will be because of your choice and the choices of all those who support candidates like Hillary who get along well with business, i.e., the big multinational corporations. It is your choice. I have chosen to support Edwards.
