lot of mainstream attention. By 1999 corporations were reeling from
consumer pressure and it was looking like Congress was going to take some
action. At that time, Dennis Greenia worked at a nonprofit in Washington
DC that was involved in educating consumers, businesses and investors
about the issue. One issue of concern was the sweatshops operating under
the American Flag on the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands
(CNMI), a US territory in the Western Pacific. In 1999 it looked like
legislation to end the abuse would pass the Congress, but instead the
legislation was killed.
Greenia wanted to find out why and he began researching the Lobbyists
hired to protect the labor abuse. That led him to Jack Abramoff, the
Culture of Corruption in Washington DC and a hobby that has consumed much
of his free time over the last decade.
Over the years, he has shared his research with a number of reporters,
writers and researchers. Since 2004 he has written about Jack Abramoff and
the Culture of Corruption on Daily Kos under the pen name href="http://www.dengre.dailykos.com">dengre. Some of these posts are
now being posted on OpedNews.

DeLay's Dirty Dancing Meanwhile the victims of Tom DeLay, Jack Abramoff and their scams wait for justice. These are the victims who had their labor and wages stolen and/or are the young women (and some young boys) forced into the global sex trade. All this was done through the system of labor abuse and human trafficking protected by Tom DeLay for more than a decade.

Judd Gregg, Jack Abramoff and Barack Obama It is not a slow news week. A lot has and is happening. It is easy for an important story to slide by quickly. That is just what happened in the last 24 hours.

Why they Fear Eric Holder (and President Obama) The Republican Party is already up to their hypocritical self serving partisan game playing. The hold placed on this nomination by the GOP is just the first of many examples of pettiness this group of dinosaurs will act on.
