Dear Sen. Elizabeth Warren:

Thank you for exposing the corporate money behind the allegedly "independent" analysis of think tanks and their experts in Washington. This so-called research is toxic to the public interest. We need more leaders like you who are willing to take a stand against corporate influence in policymaking.

    Thank Sen. Elizabeth Warren for Exposing the Truth

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren has exposed one of Washington's dirtiest practices: big corporations paying off "experts" at D.C. think tanks to push their agenda in key policy debates.1

    She caught an allegedly independent Brookings Institution economist trading on his reputation to challenge a plan to boost basic protections for investors. After Warren called him out for getting an $85,000 industry paycheck to produce his "study," he was forced to resign.

    And guess what: This exact same expert and his partner in crime are also getting money from the big phone and cable companies to attack Net Neutrality with reams of bogus research.2

    Warren is now under attack for taking on the corruption that's toxic to policymaking in the public interest. We need to show her we've got her back.

    Thank Elizabeth Warren for Exposing the Truth About Industry-Funded "Experts".
