Lobbyist Shakedown, Part Three

Notice the red arrow on this document.  Crazy Jack Harper is demanding that this lobbyist, who represents the Pay Day Loan Sharks, contribute 10 checks at $410 each to Crazy Jack’s campaign.  Seriously. 

In exchange for over $4000 in campaign contributions, click on the following link to read how Jack ran “strike everything” legislation for the loan sharks that would increase interest rates and fees on consumers. http://bit.ly/HarperFeeIncrease

Then, scroll down a few posts to read what his conservative colleague, Sen. Ron Gould, has to say about this practice.  And then read what BusinessWeek thinks about it. 

We should be calling him Corrupt Jack Harper!  How does he get away with this stuff?

Another Lobbyist Shakedown, brought to you by Crazy Jack Harper.

On this email shakedown, we see that Crazy Jack Harper was asking for money from the tobacco and booze industries, plastic surgeons, racing and Walmart.  Aren’t these the ‘evil’ industries Jack  always rails against?

Gosh, I wonder if there is a third Lobbyist Shakedown email from yet another lobbyist.  A fourth, maybe?

Welcome to Lobbyist Shakedown!  This is a game where I see how far I can push the ethical boundaries.  Where I can leap regulations in a single bound.  Where I can send an email to a lobbyist naming all of the clients of a lobbyist and then telling that lobbyist how much he needs to fork over from each client. Anyone can play this game with me! The contestants for this round of Lobbyist Shakedown are nurses, healthcare companies, banks, insurance companies, homebuilders and liquor companies.

Who’s next?  Who wants to play a round of Lobbyist Shakedown?  Anyone else?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?
