all know a fight with Juan que yes that's a block
arm well we did a video the other day on Eleanor Holmes Norton
now she is a congresswoman and
she had been caught basically putting a voicemail on a lobbyist
answer machine begging for money which won a playoff part so for you in a
little bit so you gets
see for yourself now we've done that and at the end up a different story
on how the banks for perching saying different congresspeople
so I we meet its own segment we put it up on YouTube for cybill
I should know that there's one good point that people on you to made and one
cat made as well
which is that I should acquire fight in that video that the
recording was from 2010 okay now doesn't change the recording at all
and we never presented as like oh my god it's fresh news
we present as look here's another example unfortunately
corruption that is systemic in the system well walk it didn't like that
they thought this is outrageous they had this very snarky headline shocker
scandal breaking and what not DC rap eleanor holmes-norton
ask someone for money in 2010 at like
art that's so snarky I
there's nothing to see here are scared of corruption she fell in the lobby is
you have no need to be you better give me the money
okay you know how important I am okay this all on a very important committee
and the chairman Subcommittee
but it's not look away look away no no no
cook official and legalized corruption in DC
is not a new story how dare we cover it right
and how dare Wolfpack is an organization care and try to fix it what's wrong with
you people
response to sit on your awsome blog instead so here's what they
I wrote we're pretty sex I did to listen to this
audio regarding recording a DC congresswoman eleanor holmes norton
being brazen and corrupt asking for bribes from twenty desert
which we left it when Andrew Breitbart first breathlessly posted it
which the Yonkers just posted as news okay
so apparently by part also put this video up back when he was alive
like I got few conservatives and liberals agree corruption is a bad thing
so obviously corruption must be a good thing okay well the government would
love your attitude
doesn't matter how many Americans agree that corruption is a disaster and it's
become
systemic you should do nothing about it I got news
it's not news that Congress is corrupt shut up about it already
sheesh okay so now his wife airline
they say Soarer does anybody besides Jake you're here for extortion
here I are great well let's listen in
and let you make your own judgment now here's a portion of the call that we
played
during that clip this is Hannah North congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton
I had no illusions bad you have given
to are other colleagues on the transportation and infrastructure
committee hi I am an ATM senior member twenty-year veteran
and Amdocs here are the Subcommittee on economic development public buildings in
emergency management and handling the largest
for economic development project in the United States
I was frankly for Paris Jesse's death we don't have a record to fight back in
town love your having given
see me despite my down long and deep
star work where's my money
look this is how we do business in washington you're a lobbyist
if you were are interested in my support you give me the money
and I give you the support scanning mode but she is on those committees issues
important versus
she is powerful in washington if you want to support gimme the money
whereas of course address the media looks tangos notable carlsbad
that's no but that's normal its normal whole of course because one called
begging for money or demanding money
from lobbyists that's how politics works as if like
that's a wonderful thing alright if that wasn't enough for you
here's more camp and complete candidly calling to ask for contribution
senior member of the saddam
symmetry an attack and subcommittee chair we have applications
to radis fine and i think you must have been me who hadn't
frankly hi done my homework chance for contributions
earlier her does anybody what state you're going to see extortion
here ok it's great I love letter congressmen say just give me the money
and I'll give whatever you want now technically
she didn't say in that email I for that legalized bribery will do whatever you
want
how crazy me to draw that a connection because that would never happen in
washington
that's not what she was implying iraq of course why are they mad because one cat
is I guess progressive right and so they like to eleanor holmes-norton you can
attacker she's a democrat
she's Washington DC there's a and teach there's now
look to your pickin on earth a woman here african-american
from Washington DC shows you have the right to vote because I Washington DC
has been mistreated
you write about all those things it doesn't make that phone call any better
and what you're missing is this is not a partisan issue this is that like other
problems are cropping the democrats are lovely
they would have a fighting chance no both sides are corrupt because all the
way we built the system
the supreme court says they can take unlimited money so then in the end the
only thing that matters
is the money Lebowski and you think I just picked her out
obviously you don't watch the show that's or come up this year are you
don't have an obligation
what you should know what we're about we criticize all the different guys with
in fact in that video clip I made it clear listen
kisses standard operating procedure
it's not unusual that's how congress works now
you bribe me no legal fashion it's legalized bribery
and you get the votes that you won the they fail to see what the problem is
and the rest amor media has gone along with it as if there's no issue at all
now look I love blogs and so what are the great things about blogs is that the
challenge the mainstream media
and how they cover things there how often you see CNN or anybody else
do new stories on how how much donation is a congressman is taken or senator is
taken
and how they are voted based on that that is the most relevant news story
because that the terms have the boat almost all the time and we show you're
on your own terms
all the time on both parts now you think that one would challenge that
instead they'll pick up another doing a great job of ignoring this
hush up already so I got a little upset I said this Tweet Up
didn't realize Wonka lived up the ass if this talisman
problem is legalized corruption schmuck okay
art maybe Schmucks a little much up the ass
you could argue okay so they got very upset
and erode another snarky cuz their greatest snark
a blog and here's what they wrote their sure we can get behind a basic idea
and corporate person heard in public we finance all elections in our country
that's the amendment that will fax in favor up that would be nice
on other hand they're saying you should be pursued through a constitutional
convention which is more likely to end up
getting us a brand new First Amendment guarantee the right to attend the
Christian Church of your choice I
no no you see you were right to sit on your couch the whole time and not try to
help
or fix the system at all cynics are also
because they're never held accountable if you never get up off your ass
well that you can always pat yourself on the back are great job torn up in today
up we were so awesomely said a closed party today great job
know the reality is because washing is so corrupt there's no way in the world
they're gonna have two-thirds of both houses pushing for
an amendment you need to do it through a confession process
which you get through the state's now right-wing groups like the John Birch
Society
do the same thing as one cat that was really interesting I know because when
we get into fights at the state level
those are the guys that we fight they come out the right wing does the radical
right when you guys who bought book
eisenhower was a communist they come out they said no to go to a convention
than the people would be empowered to put have amendments going because vision
00
Washington as a rule everything don't tell the people if you do
crazy progressive amendments will pass and then the left wings is crazy
right-wing members will pass in the Commission
let me read to your article 5 the constitution so you know how this thing
works
now look again it's not want his job to know any thing about
conventions or amendments are campaign finance reform but if they don't know
anything
you might want to hush up I lovee educate you the congress whatever
two-thirds of both houses
shall deem it necessary shall propose amendments to the Constitution or on the
application legislatures
two-thirds the several states shelhah convention for proposing
amendments which in either case and here's the relevant part now those
that's the beginning part is what I just explain to you
you to do through congress or through the state's through convention
shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of this Constitution
win ratified by the Legislature's
03 force up several states okay
so whatever mm it comes out of the car s2 a convention article 5 gannett
convention
you would have to be ratified by three-quarters those things you have
any idea how impossible that is the only thing we agree on in the country
is that was sick of the corruption you're not going to get three chords the
state's
to give you any kind have massively progressive amendment keep it real
it would be lovely I'm totally progressive I would love to do a lot of
progress for a moment
when I can get them cuz we can get three courses they surrounded by
at how about like the massively right we amend its like this all Christian charge
will be established
that said it's gonna be either the lutherans where the Pisgah billions that
say
you to get you have three quarters the states to ratify like California New
York Vermont center
no you're not it's a scare tactic used by the extreme I'm extreme left
to make sure there's no change in the system whatsoever
the reality is the only people who work ever gotten this change
or the ones who bullied believe that we could get change
if one kid was around god help us thank God they work
if they were around during the summer just movement
up what I got the right to vote
ok you're OK you how you gonna get the right to vote
where you don't which we can even for the first place how event
you'll never win it's better to just said new start a blog about it
you it turns out if people are really motivated
in the Caroline and you have a rare issue where the great majority of the
country agrees
if you actually try to get change you might do it
if you don't try for change
you never ever gonna get it and you could be really happy as a senate
but you gotta live kinda better life where you really get absolutely nothing
accomplished
if you like to get something accomplished go to wolf dash back dot
com
join the fight and let's kick their asses and help fix the country
