Big Oil Corporations

This evening, a fake grassroots rally is being orchestrated at the Greensboro Coliseum to trick Senator Kay Hagan into believing there is a groundswell of popular opposition to reforms that will create clean energy jobs and lessen our dependence on foreign oil.

These events are organized and paid for by the American Petroleum Institute (API), an umbrella group that lobbies for Big Oil and businesses that want to block investment in new, cleaner forms of energy. Petroleum Institute members include ExxonMobile, Halliburton and GE, to name a few.

The “citizens” with the urge to rise-up on this issue just so happen to live in states with U.S. Senators whose vote is being sought by Big Oil.
