POPSThe Solyndra Scandal → An Example of Legal Thieving by Bush and Obama Resulting from the secretive Cheney Energy Task Force, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 - signed by President George W. Bush with the support of most Republicans and then Senator Obama - was designed to dish taxpayers money to favored corporations and interests. And gave the Obama administration the right to rush through a half billion dollar bailout loan to a now bankrupt alternative energy company. Which was then bankrolled by one of Barack Obama’s top campaign fundraisers, Kaiser the 64th richest person in the world! While knowing Solyndra was never close to solvent. Big Government, Big Secrecy and Big Corruption walk together, hand in hand. Solyndra Scandal Hits Obama White House

POPSBeyond the Philadelphia Horror: The Tip of a Blood-Stained Iceberg N.J. doctor accused of performing illegal abortions had license suspended, revoked in several states In early August, three women, each of them more than four months pregnant, sought abortions from Dr. Steven Brigham at his clinic in New Jersey. Instead of turning them down, authorities said Brigham used a novel scheme to take advantage of the disparities in state abortion laws. He started the late-term abortions in New Jersey, where he wasn't permitted to perform them, and finished them a day later in Maryland, where the law is more permissive, authorities said. One of the abortions, however, didn't go as planned, and Maryland officials ordered Brigham, 54, to stop practicing medicine in the state. Police raided his offices and yanked two of his colleagues' licenses in Maryland, and New Jersey authorities are also seeking to take his license away. http://www.nj.com

POPSHousing Bill Threatens Personal Privacy Email Petition The Senate is currently considering a $300 billion mortgage bailout for the riskiest borrowers and their banks. Recently, it was revealed that Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), the primary architect of the compromise bill that ultimately ended up on the Senate floor, had received a special “VIP” loan from Countrywide Financial, which stands to be one of the primary beneficiaries of the bill. Unfortunately, the irresponsible economics and the VIP scandal are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the bad policy in the mortgage bailout. Hidden within the bill is a provision added by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) that would greatly expand the power of the Internal Revenue Service to monitor what Americans buy online. Sen. Grassley’s provision would require the nation’s electronic payment systems to track, aggregate, and report information on nearly every electronic transaction to the federal government.
