How to accept a bribe

Demand to know why someone on the House Armed Services Committee received a $500,000 “bonus” from a weapons manufacturer

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Angel - NYC                                                                                                                                                                           Let’s pretend I’m a weapons manufacturer. I make fighter jets and spy drones and stuff like that.

And let’s pretend you work for me.

Imagine you just got offered aposition in Washington on the U.S. House Armed Services Committee — the one that gives me billions ofdollars in government contracts. Cool, right?

Now, let’s say I gave you a $500,000 bonus just three weeks before you stopped working for me to go join that committee.

OK, stop pretending. Last week, we found out a guy named Tom MacKenzieactually did this!

If that sounds an awful lot like bribery to you, you’re not alone. He’s being questioned. Help us demand an answer. Add your name.

Let’s get Thomas MacKenzie fired, and make sure it doesn’t happen again. ConnecticutSenator Richard Blumenthal is leading the charge and we need to stand by him. Sign your name to tell Blumenthal he’s right.

If it looks like a bribe and smells like a bribe… you guessed it!                 read on..
