The American people deserve honest government with ethical people in power. Obama promised a return to clean government, no lobbyists, and honesty.

IN THE LAST 2 YEARS, DASCHLE EARNED A COMBINED $4.42 MILLION SPEAKING TO HEALTH RELATED COMPANIES, AND AS A CONSULTANT FOR A LOBBYIST FIRM FOR THE INSURANCE & HEALTH CARE INDUSTRIES.


DASCHLE HAS TO GO. Not only did he not pay his taxes, he has major conflicts of interest. Obama's ethics policy states: "No political appointees in the Obama-Biden administration will be permitted to work on regulations or contracts directly and substantially related to their prior employer for two years." However, Daschle Daschle is a special public policy advisor in Alston & Bird’s Washington, D.C., firm which singles out health care as an area of "particular emphasis."
