You know the ones that show up at his fund raisers. I think they are called Rangers or super rangers or some other stupid shit names.

That might come in handy when we decide to pay them a courtesy call and hold them accountable for this crime. The private citizens who underwrote this administration.

I know there are corporate sponsors whose board members we'd have to smoke out, but these are the private citizens I'm talking about. The willful collaborators.

And a relevent excerpt from "Homeland Unsecured" report

The chemical, nuclear, hazardous materials transport, ports and shipping, and water utility industries have contributed $19.9 million to Bush and the Republican National Committee since the 2000 election cycle. Thirty of Bush's top fundraisers — 10 so-called "Rangers" and 20 "Pioneers," who each raise at least $200,000 and $100,000, respectively — hail from those industries. In addition, these industries have spent more than $201 million to lobby the administration and Congress since 2002. . . .

3. thanks bee.......
whoa, there's so much good info here. From one of the links it seems that the biggest contributor is our buddy Jack Abramoff. He is in some sort of legal difficulty nowadays.

I wonder if these folks get postcard messages thanking them for their activities.
