Promises, promises


I'm singing the lyrics now...

"First you say you will, then you say you won't...you will, you won't, you do, you don't.

OK, I've stopped singing the lyrics to that old tune about being undecided.

The DNC, Democratic National Committee, promised early on that they would regularly release the names of their big money donors, but two days ago they said they wouldnt release the names until after their convention in Charlotte.

Why? I dont know. Send them an email and ask them. The chairperson is Debbie Wasserman Schultz. They will probably tell you that the donors dont need to be identified until October 15th when federal disclosure documents are supposed to be filed. So much for an open peoples convention as promised.

I wonder if anyone on the DNC has looked up the meaning of transparency. You cant call for the republicans to reveal their contributors and not do so for democrat contributors.

When are we going to get tired of broken promises and pledges? When are we going to hold all political officials, candidates and our already elected representatives to their stated or promised word? 

Im not even going to mention the junkets our representatives go on at taxpayer expense and get to swim nude in the Sea of Galilee.

Until we demand accountability we will get nothing but expedient promises, empty pledges and congress as usual.
