>>I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IN THE WATER IN WEST VIRGINIA LATELY,
THAT MIGHT BE PART OF THE ISSUE HERE, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN WE
HAVE A LOT OF PROGRESSIVE HEROES COMING OUT OF WEST VIRGINIA AND
THEY ARE LITERALLY FIGHTING FOR THE WATER, INCLUDING PAULA JEAN
SWEARINGEN RUNNING FOR SENATE AGAINST JOE MANCHIN, BUT THIS
ONE, WOW, WHAT A WONDERFUL ACTION AND STATEMENT BY LISSA
LUCAS, SHE WENT TO TALK ABOUT A LAW THEY WERE TRYING TO PASS IN
WEST VIRGINIA, I THINK YOU WILL LOVE WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY.
THE
LAW IS ABOUT HOW YOU NEEDED 100% OF LANDOWNERS TO GIVE PERMISSION
TO USE THEIR LAND FOR OIL AND GAS COMPANIES.
THAT MAKES SENSE,
IT'S THEIR LAND, THAT SHOULD CUT ACROSS ALL IDEOLOGIES, I KNOW
CONSERVATIVES DON'T LIKE EASEMENT LAWS, WHEN YOU HAVE A
MALL COMING THROUGH OR SOMETHING AND THEY TAKE YOUR LAND FOR
PUBLIC USE, THAT WAS A CONSERVATIVE ISSUE.
NOW THEY
WANT TO KNOCK IT DOWN TO 75%, WHY?
BECAUSE OIL AND GAS
COMPANIES PAY THE POLITICIANS.
THERE GO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS, AND WHETHER YOU ARE CONSERVATIVE OR PROGRESSIVE IS
IRRELEVANT TO THEM.
BUT IT'S RELEVANT TO HER SO SHE WENT TO SET THEM STRAIGHT.
LISTEN TO WHAT SHE HAD TO SAY AND WHAT THEY DID TO HER.
>>I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE PEOPLE SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF THIS
BILL WILL ALL BE PAID BY THE INDUSTRY, AND PEOPLE WHO WILL BE
VOTING ON THIS BILL ARE ALSO OFTEN PAID BY THE INDUSTRY.
FOR
EXAMPLE, AND I HAVE TO KEEP IT SHORT, SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PUBLIC
>>NOT THE DAY TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VIDEO, I LOVE THAT
VIDEO.
THAT'S AN AMERICAN HERO, CAN WE TRY AGAIN?
PRICE AND I
HAVE TO KEEP IT SHORT SIMPLY BECAUSE THE PUBLIC ONLY GETS ONE
MINUTE AND 45 SECONDS WHILE LOBBYISTS CAN THROW A GALA AT
THE MARRIOTT WITH WHISKEY AND WINE AND TALK FOR HOURS TO THE
DELEGATES.
SO TO KEEP IT SHORT, ON THE JEWISH ERIE COMMITTEE,
CHARLOTTE LANE, ABOUT $10,000 FROM GAS AND OIL INTERESTS
INCLUDING AEP, MARATHON, FIRST ENERGY DOMINION, EQT, AND I CAN
GO ON.
NEXT LET'S TALK ABOUT JOHN SCHOTT FROM MERCER,
APPALACHIAN POWER $2000, STEPTOE AND JOHNSON, $2000, CONSOL
ENERGY, 1000, EQT 1000, AND I COULD GO ON.
NOW LET'S TALK
ABOUT JASON HERSHBERGER.
>>WE ASK NO PERSONAL COMMENTS BE MADE.
>>THIS IS NOT PERSONAL COMMENTS.
>>IT IS, AND I WILL CALL YOU OUT OF ORDER IF YOU TALK ABOUT
INDIVIDUALS ON THE COMMITTEE.
SO IF YOU WOULD, JUST ADDRESS THE
BILL.
IF NOT, I'LL ASK YOU TO STEP DOWN.
>>HE TOOK $3500, ABOUT 40% OF HIS MONEY --
>>DRAG ME OFF THEN.
PEOPLE DESERVE SOMEONE TO FIGHT FOR
THEM --
>>SHE'S AN AMERICAN HERO.
IF YOU CAN, EVERY ONE OF YOU GO DO
LIKEWISE.
THAT HAPPENED TO BE THE WEST VIRGINIA HOUSE OF
DELEGATES, THAT WAS ON FRIDAY.
ALL SHE DID WAS READ THE
DONATIONS FROM THE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES.
YOU ARE PASSING A LAW
TO THE BENEFIT OF FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES THAT IS GOING TO TAKE
AWAY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS SO I'M JUST
GOING TO READ THE DONATIONS YOU GOT FROM FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES.
APPARENTLY THE POLITICIANS TOOK SUCH GREAT OFFENSE AT THAT, THEY
HAD TO CUT HER MIC AND REMOVE HER FROM THE BUILDING, SHOVE HER
OUT OF THE WAY.
WHY ARE YOU TAKING OFFENSE?
I THOUGHT IT WAS
JUST THOSE FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES WHO ARE PEOPLE, BECAUSE
CORPORATIONS ARE PEOPLE, THAT'S WHAT MITT ROMNEY TELLS ME,
THAT'S WHAT THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS TELL ME, AND THEY
WERE JUST SPEAKING TO YOU.
THAT MONEY IS SPEECH AND THOSE ARE
PEOPLE, SO WHY ARE YOU EMBARRASSED?
YOU WERE JUST
HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH THOSE OIL COMPANIES.
WHY ARE YOU SO
EMBARRASSED?
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S IN FACT CORRUPTION,
AND WHAT THOSE ARE OUR BRIBES.
THEY ARE LEGALIZED BRIBES,
THAT'S THE SWAMP.
SO WHEN ALL SHE DOES IS READ THE MONEY
YOU'VE TAKEN, YOU WANT HER TO LEAVE THE BUILDING.
THAT'S HER
HOUSE, THAT'S NOT YOUR HOUSE.
THAT'S HER HOUSE.
SHE'S A
CITIZEN OF WEST VIRGINIA, DOING WHAT EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD DO,
GET INVOLVED, CALL HIM OUT ON IT.
I WANT TO QUOTE HER MORE, AFTERWARDS SHE SAID --
>>IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR BRIBES BEING CALLED OUT, THEN DON'T
TAKE THEM.
THAT MAKES ALL THE SENSE IN THE WORLD.
OTHERWISE
WHY AREN'T YOU PROUD?
YOU SHOULD BE LIKE OF COURSE, I HAD A GREAT
CONVERSATION WITH AN OIL COMPANY.
AT THE END OF THE
CONVERSATION THEY GAVE ME $5000 AND I USED IT TO GET ELECTED
OVER AND OVER AND MAINTAIN MY OWN POWER, PRIVILEGE, AND MONEY.
BE PROUD.
IF YOU AREN'T PROUD MAYBE YOU MIGHT WANT TO FIX THE
SYSTEM.
SHE WENT ON TO SAY --
>>SO SHE'S
GOING TO BE ON REBEL HEADQUARTERS TONIGHT.
WE HAVE
WONDERFUL PRODUCERS HERE AT THE YOUNG TURKS, SHE WAS GOING TO BE
ON BEFORE I EVEN KNEW THE STORY HAPPENED, AND SHE WAS GOING TO
COME AND TELL HER SIDE OF IT, YOU KNOW THE YOUNG TURKS IS
LIVE, 6 O'CLOCK TO 8:00 PM EASTERN, REBEL HEADQUARTERS
WHERE WE HAVE PROGRESSIVES COME ON AND TALK ABOUT THEIR ISSUES,
AND IN THIS CASE IT CUTS ACROSS PARTY LINES, BUT SHE'S A
DEMOCRAT, APPARENTLY SHE'S GOING TO RUN FOR OFFICE, MORE POWER TO
HER, THAT'S FANTASTIC, REBEL HEADQUARTERS IS RIGHT AFTER THE
YOUNG TURKS LIVE AT 8:05 P.M.
EASTERN, IF YOU MISS ANY OF THE
INTERVIEWS GO TO YOUTUBE.COM/TYTPOLITICS, WE WILL
HAVE THE LINKS BELOW, CHECK IT OUT, I WILL GIVE YOU LISSA'S
WEBSITE AS WELL, BUT I TO READ A COUPLE MORE QUOTES FROM HER AS
TO WHY SHE'S RUNNING, BECAUSE SHE'S AN AVERAGE CITIZEN, NOT A
LOBBYIST, NOT ANY OF THAT, SHE SAYS --
>>YES.
LOOK, THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WORKING ON THESE ISSUES
FROM SO MANY ANGLES, AND THEY FIGHT SO HARD, REGULAR PEOPLE,
STAY IN THERE.
STAY IN THE FIGHT.
I'VE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE
SAY I NEVER WANTED TO DO IT, I HAVE ISSUES OF STUTTERING, I
HAVE ISSUES BEING AN INTROVERT, I DON'T LIKE TO GO OUT INTO
CROWDS, BUT THEY DO IT.
THEY BRING THAT TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK THEIR MIND.
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN THEN DOING
THAT.
SPEAK OUT, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO, THAT'S THE HEART
OF THE COUNTRY.
SHE SAID --
>>YOU KNOW WHAT THAT REMINDS ME OF?
IT REMINDS ME OF THE
FOUNDING FATHERS.
THAT'S WHAT THEY USED TO SAY ALL THE TIME.
WE JUST WANT TO FIX THIS THING AND GET BACK TO OUR FARMS.
IT'S
AS TRUE TODAY IN WEST VIRGINIA AS IT WAS THEN, AND
UNFORTUNATELY THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY IS TRUE AND IMPORTANT
AND RELEVANT, TODAY AS IT WAS BACK THEN.
BECAUSE WE'VE LOST
OUR DEMOCRACY, WE HAVE LEGALIZED BRIBERY.
YOU ARE JUST ALLOWED TO
GIVE CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS, ALLOWED TO DO DARK MONEY, AND
ALLOWED TO DO IT AT UNLIMITED AMOUNTS.
OF COURSE THEY WORK FOR
THEIR DONORS. 93% OF AMERICANS SAY POLITICIANS WORK FOR THEIR
DONORS AND NOT THEIR VOTERS STOPPED AND WE ARE NOT BLIND,
DEAF, AND DUMB, WE CAN SEE IT CLEAR AS DAY, YOU CAN SHUT ALL
THE MICROPHONES YOU WANT AND IT WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM OR COVER
UP WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
THERE IS ONLY ONE ANSWER, GET MONEY OUT
OF POLITICS.
AND IF YOU DO AND YOU HAVE REAL DEMOCRACY, THEN
THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP AND REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP CAN'T
CONTINUE TO WORK FOR THE CORPORATIONS AND NOT FOR US.
AND
BY THE WAY ALSO FOR THE UNIONS.
I DON'T WANT ANY MONEY IN
POLITICS, I DON'T CARE WHERE IT COMES FROM.
END THE PRIVATE
FINANCING SO THEY DON'T WORK FOR PRIVATE INTERESTS.
LISSA LUCAS
IS AN AMERICAN HERO, I LOVE WHAT SHE DID, LEARN FROM HER, DO IT
WHEREVER YOU LIVE AND MAKE SURE YOU HOLD YOUR POLITICIANS
ACCOUNTABLE, FIGHT BACK, GET MONEY OUT
OF POLITICS.
