There are ways to fix this, but only if Americans figure out how to put our nation’s interests ahead of their party’s. ]]> 2021-10-19 20:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kateearly2002/qsn65f97z0dhqwmc/wish/1828411354 kateearly2002 https://padlet.com/kateearly2002/qsn65f97z0dhqwmc/wish/1828419775 Jack Abramoff, a tech company executive pleaded guilty more than $400,00 in order to bribe to a congressman, William  Jefferson and his wife.

Such as the Democratic party lobbying with big tech companies such as Apple, Facebook, most news organizations, to control the narrative within the media. Republican lobbying usually lowers prices of certain goods such as fossil fuels at the expense of the Environment and has allowed the pharmaceutical market to increase prices without a change in the cost of producing such medication.  ]]> 2021-10-21 18:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kateearly2002/qsn65f97z0dhqwmc/wish/1834416947 deantferguson https://padlet.com/kateearly2002/qsn65f97z0dhqwmc/wish/1834442714 Since the 2016 election American politics have entered a new stage, not a good one.
