If you want a crass education in the reason why so many Democrats in Congress joined George W. Bush and the Republican Party in voting for the FISA Amendments Act, I suggest that you go visit the sponsors list for the Democratic National Convention to be held from August 25th to August 28th in Denver this year. The sponsors are almost all corporations, and when I call them “sponsors”, that means that they’re paying off the Democrats. “Paying off” is more commonly referred to as bribing.

So, the FISA Amendments Act gave telecommunications corporations retroactive immunity from lawsuits. That means that, although millions of Americans had their constitutional rights violated, and the telecommunications corporations knowingly violated binding commercial agreements, the telecommunications corporations won’t have to pay a dime in compensation. The American people are out of luck. That’s a very nasty, but very profitable, arrangement for the telecommunications corporations.

Among the telecommunications corporations that was being sued was AT&T. (Read more about Hepting v. AT&T)

Gosh, but below look at who one of the top sponsors of the Democratic National Convention is: It’s AT&T! Apparently, AT&T has given so much money to the Democratic National Committee for the 2008 convention that AT&T has been declared the official wireless provider of the convention, and the AT&T logo is featured on the official tote bag of the convention, with its logo three times the size of convention’s logo.

Is it just a coincidence? Golly, could AT&T, a for-profit corporation, just give millions of dollars to the Democrats without expecting anything in return? Well, yes, I suppose that could be. I suppose that there could be absolutely no connection between the millions of dollars given to the Democrats and the Democrats’ support of the FISA Amendments Act, a law that eliminates billions of dollars in liability for companies like AT&T.

It could be… just like there could be an invisible fairy who runs around my house at night when everybody is asleep.

Here are the corporate bribers, I mean sponsors, of the Democratic National Convention:

And here’s a short video podcast on the subject. You’ll have to excuse the audio - it’s a little bit rough, but then, I don’t have a corporate sponsor.
