Big Campaign Donors Killing Florida Panthers #3

    Due to the fact that politicians want their big campaign donors to keep contributing to their future campaigns, they will do favors for the big donors. These favors make the big donors think they have big balls, but in reality all they have are big bucks and big corruption. Maybe they think they have big balls because they are so corrupt. Examination would have to establish if they really have big balls, but it is obvious the donors are corrupt because they are blackmailing the politicians and killing the Florida panthers by insisting that politicians get their development plans into panther habitat okayed by Fish and Wildlife or the politicians won't get any more donations. A law needs to be passed that those big balls, real or imagined, be fed to the panthers. America is in the mood to try to pass such legislation. We are fed up with the corrupt establishment, and the pitchforks are being sharpened.
    The past top federal wildlife official in south Florida has said of the Florida panther: "Numerically, they're doing better. Ecologically, they're screwed." This quote comes from the Tampa Bay Times. From the Florida Panther Society comes information that Andy Eller, Jr., for 18 years a federal panther biologist, was fired for daring to say that development was taking essential land from the endangered panther in south Florida. As I understand it, Andy Eller had enough with approving that panther land be given to the Big Campaign Donors With Big Balls because they were extorting that land from the politicians. Big politicians- federal congressmen and senators- were making sure that federal Fish and Wildlife officials approveg these development plans. Andy finally made a stand and spoke the truth and was promptly fired. Fortunately, Andy could appeal that wrongful termination, and he had the financial resources and or backing to pay the lawyers. He was reinstated to his job, but I understand he's left the state. Probably had to.
    Yes, Bernie, in this you are right. We must make campaign donations public money so private donors can't blackmail congressmen and senators to do their bidding or lose those donations next election.
