The new GOP agenda for the house if they take charge is called "A Pledge To America" and it's really a pledge to big oil. The “Pledge to America” was written with oversight from Brian Wild, a House staffer who was a lobbyist for some of the nation’s most powerful oil, pharmaceutical, and insurance companies. Wild, who is on House Minority Leader John Boehner’s payroll, lobbied for AIG, Exxon Mobil, Pfizer Inc., and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce until earlier this year. Instead of listening to American citizens or considering their needs, the pledge's authors listened instead to lobbyists that support offshore drilling, dirty coal and other corporate polluters. With this document, the Republicans have officially abandoned any support of clean energy or green jobs and declared that their allegiance is only for big oil and big coal.
