Book Description
This expos of how much money each of the candidates--including President George W. Bush--have amassed, is essential reading before the public heads to the polls in 2004.

Is The Oval Office For Sale?

The Buying of the President 2004 reveals how the process of choosing a president has moved from the voting booth to the auction block, and highlights the special interests that heavily invest in the politicians seeking the nation's highest office. Lewis and his team reveal and investigate the sponsors and the known and not-so-known conflicts of interest entangling each of the aspirants to the White House. This is the only book of its kind, containing investigative profiles and personal histories of the major presidential candidates.

Here you will find answers to questions like:
* Which candidate was paid by a pharmaceutical firm to give speeches while running for the Senate?
* Who turned the Homeland Security Act into a bonanza for the biotech industry?
* Which candidate proposed 32 separate tax breaks for big businesses that support his campaign?
* Who is the "go-to guy" for the insurance industry?
