Many elected officials should have “For Sale” signs outside their office doors. They also should make it known that they are discriminatory in who gets to buy them. They are “For Sale” to the white corporate and banking sectors only.

The executives of Dominion Energy can have these elected officials to build them a compressor station in Buckingham County and a Coliseum in Richmond for Christmas.

The white male banking executives at Wells Fargo were able to commit all sorts of illegal banking activities that harmed millions of customers, and have not gone to prison as a result. Was this a result of “amazing grace” or “bought politicians?” Why are politicians like Hillary Clinton, U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring and Gov. Ralph Northam not demanding that these banking executives serve some serious prison time for their serious crimes?

The citizens of Buckingham County should demand that a large vomiting station be built in their county so that they can puke their way through the politicians who ask for their votes and then proverbially stab them in the back. The citizens of Richmond also could use one!
