I have been sick of the rag-heads since the Munich Olympics and we've been filling their coffers ever since while big bad oil gets 7 cents on the dollar. Americans don't agree with you or with the Messiah's tire gauge "solution". Leave it to Pelosi and the Dems to blow an election that shouldn't even be close!

Brown money too? Thu, 21 Aug 2008 00:07:11 +0000 http://www.fitsnews.com/?p=4585#comment-34563 Here is Henry giving taxpayer subsidies to rich fat cat developers on Kiawah- and Brown also wants to drill for lil dab of oil off of South Carolina's coast- as long as each side chips in campaign cash everything is cool with him . I thought the Charleston City Paper's article on the pure folly of oil drilling off our coast.was well done. It states" "The MMS estimates that the South Atlantic offshore region from South Carolina to the middle part of Florida contains 410 million barrels of oil. At the nation's current consumption rate of 20.68 million barrels every day, tapping that entire resource would power the U.S. for 20 days." Henry's answer to high gas prices=offshore drilling- shows his incompetence as a leader.

Then check the the "grant" of 1 million to The Kiawah natural Habitat Conservancy Inc and the puchase of the developers property just outside the gate of Kiawah. Perhaps another cross reference would be the Corporate partners of Kiawah Resorts, Kiawah Nature, Kiawah Development. Multi-layers. It stinks... may even be legal because of the multiple layers, but he didn;t know?

Obviously they work hand in hand, but they share no board members and Leonard Long has never sat on the board or been employed by Kiawah Resorts. So I'm not sure this connection can be drawn. BUT.. I have not seen the June 2 contribution disclosure. It's not on the Federal Election Commission's site - their online record has not been updated past 5/21. Where did you see that? I looked into it initially because of a $12,000 donation in 2003 from Kiawah Resorts to Brown's fundraising golf tournament. Let me know if you don't mind.
