Liberals have undertaken a campaign to limit money in politics. They're even currently trying to amend the constitution in order to change the meaning of the First Amendment's speech protections. However, as the Washington Free Beacon has covered extensively, many of those leading the left's charge against money in politics are investing heavily in the political process themselves.
Tea Party Nation has taken this phenomenon to task in their latest video.
February 26, 2014, Harry Reid launches his ongoing assault on free speech. But when Reid was smearing private citizens for speaking out, his own PAC was part of a massive, secretive network of wealthy donors and political groups called the Democracy Alliance with deep connections inside the White House.
They ask "who's really trying to rig the system?" before detailing Democratic billionaire mega-donor Tom Steyer's role in promoting an environmentalist agenda through the Democratic Party.
February 17th, 2014, billionaire crony Tom Steyer announces plan to promote his radical environmental agenda and support candidates who agree with it.
TPN then connects Steyer with the influential liberal nonprofit Center for American Progress before explaining the organization's role in stopping the Keystone XL Pipeline.
April 11, Reid and CAP President Neera Tanden hold a press conference announcing their environmental agenda. April 17, Steyer vows to spend on candidates opposed to the Keystone XL Pipeline. Not mentioned: Steyer made millions investing in Keystone competitors and fossil fuels. [...] April 18, President Obama punts, delaying the Keystone decision yet again.
The video, titled "Big Money, Big Power, Big Hypocrisy," ends with Tom Steyer saying to C-SPAN, "I would do anything, really, to push the United States the right way on this issue."
