Kerry on Big Oil’s Record Profits and the Republican Congress That Made Them Possible
“The numbers don’t lie. Big oil has had the best Republican Congress they could buy. Over $10 billion in profits during this quarter alone are what Big Oil got in return for writing the energy bill, reaping billions in taxpayer-funded giveaways, winning commercial access to federal lands, and rolling back environmental initiatives. Is it any wonder then that Exxon has contributed 89% of their campaign contributions to Republicans?
On November 7th, Americans will choose a Congress on their side instead of a Congress in the pocket of Big Oil. We will have leadership that sides with consumers over lobbyists, chooses clean air and clean water over reckless corporate greed, and puts America on a path towards real energy independence.”
