7. Is there a connection between Riceland Foods and
Clinton? Just because someone is a Democrat, doesn't prove the Democratic principles our party is built-on are embraced by the politician.

How much of the profit Riceland 'earned' off the backs of the poor in Haiti ended up in Clinton's pocket, due to his 'fair trade' legislation.

If it sounds like I don't like Clinton it's because I don't. He is not a Democrat, nor are many in congress that claim to be Democrats. Don't blame just the Republicans for what is going on.

The progressive populist agenda has been under attack for close to 35 years now, from both sides of the aisle. And thats why the party is losing at the election booths. If the party doesn't have 'the people' voting for them, then they are just republicans.

The wealthy have their party, where is 'the peoples' party?
