Podesta is firmly in bed with the anti-American interests over at the antithetically named named \u201cCenter for American Progress\u201d, home of climate flamer Joe Romm, an organization with yearly funding of over 30 million dollars at last count. I\u2019ve been looking at a few of the emails that talk about climate, and I just had to share this one because it represents so clearly the differences between public and private pronouncements that\u2019s been talked about lately.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This email and the others that have been released show a mainstream media that has truly deceived the American people. It is our choice whether or not we will continue to be deceived. It is time to clean house in Washington.
