Google did this back in 2003 also, along with blocking searches for
investigation into 911 links that showed anything other then the
disinformation and myths as put forth by the Corporate Administration in
the Oval office then.
Many of us voted with the only thing we had to vote with, someone else's
search engine.

Mega Corporations and Wall Street are not our friends, they are in it to
bank the wealth the workers create. Keep that in mind and there are a lot
fewer coincidences in the economic crash.

Subject: A "hoax"?

Google just hosted a major fundraiser for Jim Inhofe, a powerful US
Senator who calls climate change a "hoax". And it's joining up with the
Koch Brothers and ExxonMobil to fund right-wing groups like the
Competitive Enterprise Institute that actually promote increasing carbon
dioxide emissions.
Let's show Google we won't tolerate it funding climate change deniers.

Scott,
Earlier this month, Google hosted a $2,500-a-plate fundraiser for one of
the world's most powerful climate change deniers, Senator Jim Inhofe. And
just two weeks before that, Google poured $50,000 into the coffers of the
Competitive Enterprise Institute, a right-wing think tank that is also
funded by the likes of the Koch brothers and ExxonMobil to put out faux
"studies" that are used by policy-makers to deny climate change exists.
All this leaves us wondering what happened to Google, a company that had
been a corporate leader in fighting for the environment?
A global outcry is starting to build now that people see Google moving
away from its unofficial corporate motto -- "Don't be evil". Let's make
sure Google knows that tens of thousands of its own users want it to cut
off all support to climate change deniers.

climate change deniers.
Simply put, Google is actively helping to fund the reelection of a senator
who dismisses climate change as a "hoax", and who even goes to far as to
say that global warming, should it exist, is actually good because it adds
to our economy. Google's support of CEI is just as harmful; the institute
once ran ads saying that carbon dioxide is a positive factor in the
environment and is best known for arguing that global warming is not a
concern. CEI also launched multiple lawsuits aimed at discrediting the
science behind climate change.
Google's funding is particularly perplexing considering Google has
invested heavily in fighting climate change. Google was known to be a
industry leader in promoting clean technology and reducing its operations'
carbon footprint. It has spent billions of dollars on carbon offsets and
other investments in clean technology. Just last month, Google's chairman
said "You can lie about the effects of climate change," says chairman Eric
Schmidt, "but eventually you'll be seen as a liar."
So why the about-face? It turns out that, last year, Google hired a
conservative former Congresswoman, Susan Molinari, to head up its lobby
shop in DC. Since then, Google has been quietly passing donations to some
of the most extreme politicians and right-wing causes.
But word is getting out and Google is on the defensive. It knows its
positive brand image will be damaged if more people find out where
Google's donations are going now. Now we need to make sure Google gets the
message, loud and clear.
[3]Tell Google: Stop funding climate change deniers.
Thanks for all that you do,
Angus, Kaytee, Claiborne and the rest of us
