    Should be good viewing:

    I've met Senator Rockefeller on two occasions. He's a good guy, fair guy...and a SHARP guy. He's heading one of the committees investigating Toyota.

    washingtonpost.com

    "More than 40 percent of the 125 members of Congress serving on the three committees investigating Toyota have received campaign donations over the past 10 years, a total of $135,673 from the Toyota dealers' PAC, from dealership owners and employees, and from staff at Toyota's U.S. operation, a Washington Post analysis shows. Members of Congress received an additional $1 million for their campaigns through giving to state parties and PACs."

    By the way, does anybody know who owns/sponsors/contributes funding to the Prius Chat web site? Just wondering.

    It was Ford this morning (Banner Ad). But there are also a large number of Toyota salesmen and saleswomen activity doing some balancing acts on the forum. I am sure you meet some of them on your other post. :D
