Where did the 2 mil come from? Make it up? Got a link to support it? I doubt it.

Enron spent $2.1 million lobbying Congress and the White House in 2000, an increase over the $1.9 million it spent on lobbying in 1999. Enron has contributed to the campaign accounts of 71 current senators and 188 current members (43 percent) of the House.
Gee.. Who was in the White House in 2000?

Haven't got a response as to where you pulled that $2 mil figure. Did you pull it out of your butt? Got a link? Didn't think so.

I spent a lot of time in Texas in the 80's. I have many friends there still in Houston, Dallas, Waco and Austin. I know enough about Texas to know your postings on the subject are full of crap...
