More DC Anti-Consumer Efforts

And we elect these people?

From Tapped:

NO RECOURSE FOR THE LITTLE GUY. Pandering to the insurance industry, gas and oil producers and tobacco companies, the Senate has added the so-called Class Action Fairness Act of 2004 (S. 2062) to its summer legislative agenda. Anything but fair, this legislation would make it far more difficult for consumers to fight corporate abuse. Just how badly does big business want this legislation passed? Enough to hire nearly over 475 lobbyists to advocate for this anti-consumer legislation.

Did anyone see the piece of perhaps Daily Show that the lobbiests even have their own lobbying group? This is about 3500 miles past obscene.
