We need more of this
A West Virginia woman named Lissa Lucas testified before the state's House of Delegates on a matter of gas drilling and was dragged out of the chamber after listing the political donations given to representatives on the committee by lobbyists from oil and gas companies
I believe this should become a standard and common way of protesting corruption in politics. What do you think?

David, we normaly dont agree on stuff, but this is spot on!
Politicians should (in my view) ware badges with the corporate logo's and the donation amounts on it! :P

Ignoring the fact that I disagree with the premise of the bill, these politicians are cowards. If you are willing to sell out and do a corporations bidding, be willing to own up to it.

I pulled up a youtube video of the incident and apparently the young lady was calling out individual committee members and was supposed to only address the legislation under consideration. Rules protecting elected officials from the truthful comments by constituents should not exist. I'm so glad that you can look up any politicians financial supporters on the internet and know how in bed with support they are.

Was there another video? I did not see where she was "dragged" out. After she was off camera she continued to yell her comments. Two men, one on each arm, walked her off camera.

This is why candidates for any office should only have 2 options to run their campaign - either the money comes out of their own pocket or they recieve public funding if they can get at least 5% in the polls. The FEC already has a similar program in place for presidential candidates but most opt out because they can raise more money through non-profits and special interest groups.

That's a great way of protesting money in politics. They bring more attention to the issue by kicking her out. Kudos to her.

Political correctness has made people more aware that what they say can hurt others. At this point we are also learning that EVERYTHING we say offends someone somewhere.
