This past Thursday 02/09/12 I was fortunate enough along with some other NC Whig members to hear notorious ex lobbyist and poster boy for corruption in our federal government, Jack Abramoff speak in Raleigh, NC. It was an enlightening experience as Mr. Abramoff made some points I agreed with and others I did not. I for one personally think that he is trying to make a difference by using his recognition as a “villain of the story” to help reform our government. He certainly is not profiting very much from it as he has an enormous restitution to pay after nearly 1,300 days in federal prison.
I am going to write later this week about some Congressional reforms and about a group that the North Carolina Whigs are going to work with, and hopefully more Whig state chapters will as well. For now take a look and listen to Jack Abramoff, it is well worth the time it is just under one hour and includes remarks by Abramoff, and interview with Abramoff, and audience Q&A with Abramoff.
