28 Bureaucrats Who Sold You Out For A Little Oil Money

Yesterday afternoon, a friend of mine forwarded me a press release from California congressman Kevin McCarthy.

The press release announced a new energy coalition calling itself the House Energy Action Team (HEAT). Essentially, this is a group of Republicans that believes it has the solutions to our energy woes.

Curious to know what those solutions are?

Well it won't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out, my friends.

Combined, the members of HEAT have received more than $4 million from Big Oil. Here's the breakdown. . .

• Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) $142,350
• Peter Roskam (R-IL) $153,265
• Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) $170,143
• Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) $343,045
• Mike Conaway (R-TX) $678,818
• Steve Scalise (R-LA) $139,135
• Greg Walden (R-OR) $182,500
• Rick Berg (R-ND) $114,311
• Jeff Denham (R-CA) $24,400
• Cory Gardner (R-CO) $171,324
• Doc Hastings (R-WA) $161,804
• Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA) $26,600
• Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) $119,600
• Devin Nunes (R-CA) $138,000
• Alan Nunnelee (R-MS) $55,050
• Pete Olson (R-TX) $246,750
• Ben Quayle (R-AZ) $42,200
• Martha Roby (R-AL) $14,500
• Phil Roe (R-TN) $23,700
• Steve Womack (R-AR) $15,719
• Jeff Duncan (R-SC) $15,000
• Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) $30,000
• Bill Flores (R-TX) $212,528
• Virginia Foxx (R-NC) $58,450
• John Shimkus (R-IL) $275,761
• Fred Upton (R-MI) $262,850
• Bill Johnson (R-OH) $5,250
• Mike Pompeo (R-KS) $250,156

GRAND TOTAL. . . $4,073,209

Oh, and here's a shocker for you. . .

Every person on that list, except for Shelley Moore Capito, voted against ending Big Oil's $4 Billion a year welfare check.

I guess ending government handouts only applies to those who don't line your pockets with filthy lucre!
