On the recordJune 15, 2004
I wonder why my friends on the other side of the aisle have not sent letters back to their constituents saying because of our inaction in 2000 and 2001, billions of dollars were taken from people's pockets, from their families, from their schools, from their businesses and given to large energy corporations. Because whatever they may bring back to their district, they have allowed to be taken out. Because of their inaction, because of the inaction of this administration, because of their actions in allowing this deregulated debacle to move forward, billions of dollars have been taken out of hard-working Americans' pockets, put into large corporations who have broken the law, rewritten the law to their own advantage. It has been cynical. It has been destructive.
