Meet the Fossil Fuel Lobbyists Raising Money for Hillary Clinton/Mother Jones

Methinks her "environmentalist" reputation is, to say the least, questionable.

The issue of campaign donations from fossil fuel interests has become a topic in the Democratic Party primary, as both Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley have pledged they will not accept contributions from oil, gas or coal companies. Clinton has not signed that pledge.

Fossil fuel campaign contributions came up at a town hall event Clinton hosted in New Hampshire on Thursday.

"I'm disappointed about the answer you gave to climate change," Giselle Hart, an activist with 350 Action, told Clinton. I'm wondering if your answer…is due to contributions from the fossil fuel industry to your campaign."

Activists unfurled banners and demanded that Clinton support a ban on fossil fuel extraction on public lands. Clinton responded that she would phase out extraction over time, though not immediately. "We still have to run our economy, we still have to turn on the lights," she said.

8. HRH is part of the problem.

She's part of the 1%, is funded by the 1% and would favor the 1% if she were the nominee/president. She's definitely not the solution for the 99%.

PEACE
LOVE
