The Democratic National Committee voted over the weekend to ban donations from fossil fuel companies, HuffPost has learned.
The resolution ― proposed by Christine Pelosi, a party activist and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s daughter ― bars the organization from accepting contributions from corporate political action committees tied to the oil, gas and coal industries. The executive committee voted unanimously to approve the motion.
“We talk about how climate change is real and climate change is a planetary emergency, what we need to do is stop taking money from the institutions that have created this crisis,†said RL Miller, president of the super PAC Climate Hawks Vote Political Action and a co-author of the resolution.
The DNC may consider a second resolution at a full board meeting in Chicago in August to ban contributions over $200 from individuals who work for the fossil fuel industry. Miller said the proposal ― which has not yet been submitted to the DNC ― will hopefully lead candidates to adopt similar policies.

This is GREAT. I cannot overstate this.
Those companies will still want to give their money to whomever they believe they can work with.
The Republican candidates will be happy to take it !

Who, who actually works in the fossil fuel industry would donate to a Democrat, anyway?

Knowing these people as I do, I suspect we'll discover, years from now, more Money Laundering to get around their phony ban through 2 or 3 levels of more Phony Charitable Foundations.

There are probably some. Life on the rig, is no doubt difficult for them.
As it should be.

So, I'm guessing this will be made into a campaign issue.
