Reject ‘Stepford’ candidate

Sat., Sept. 8, 2012

Shawn Vestal laid out for the record that large corporations abuse citizens for profit and then get slapped on the wrist when caught and forced to pay a small fine and not admit guilt. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers feels that these corporations are over-regulated and should be freed of even the small accountability that they have.

We should be freed from Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the simple little “Stepford” host of the GOP convention.
