Washington Post: Today's Highlights: "During past 51/2 years, lawmakers accepted nearly $50 million in trips from groups seeking legislative favors, according to a comprehensive study."

This should be the jaw dropper story for the November elections. This is evidence of $50 million in legal bribes by corporations of our politicians for favorable votes on policies ranging from keeping the illegal flow of immigrants to winning contracts for disaster relief. These politicians have legalized bribery of themselves in order to take families on $25,000 round trip vacations on the corporate dime. Is it any wonder the American people fail to see their concerns for themselves and their children addressed with positive results? -- David R. Remer, PoliWatch.Org.
