Activists dressed in two-piece astroturf suits attended the hearing on the Bonner letter fraud. Astroturf is the name for fake grass-roots support, generated by companies to influence policy that benefits big industry. Bonner & Associates, and their funder, the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) were grilled by Reps Ed Markey and Jay Inslee, and further embarrassed by the 'coal lobby' astroturf wearing activists.

  • How did you make the suits? They are awesome! And BRAVO for your bravery speaking to Congress. I like the symbolism. ;-)

  • Cool suits. Any more footage? Did you give testimony or ask Bonner & Co. any questions?
