I skimmmed through the article and did not see the mention of the connection to the GOP.
Did I miss it ?
Meat processing & products: Background | OpenSecrets
"Individuals and political action committees associated with the meat industry contributed $1.6 million the candidates at the federal level during the 2008 campaign cycle, with nearly 70 percent going to Republicans. The industry is a strong supporter of the GOP, and has given the party more than three-quarters of the $10 million of its contributions made since the 1990 election cycle."
I am having a hard time getting worked up over 10 million dollars in donations over 20 years. And 70% of goes to the GOP, which means 30% goes where ?
I did read your article with some disgust. I've been close to plants before and they stink 100 feet outside the fence. I can't imagine what goes on inside.
What does that 10 million get them ?
I guess we will see......
Just so you know (it is not intended to be an apples to apples comparison....)the NEA gave out 65 million in 2006 alone....97% went to democrats.
