MLB Stands With SOPA
Just in case you were wondering with all the news going on, MLB didn't go dark today because the Commissioner's Office has pumped about $1.5 million into congressional lobbying and campaign financing over the last two election cycles, with the distribution titled toward legislators friendly to the unpopular legislation. MLB is also listed as one of SOPA/PIPA's official supporters. Angels Baseball has not made any publicly disclosed contributions to an elected federal official, although Arte recently gave $2,500 each to Mitt Romney and Matt Salmon, a Republican candidate for Arizona's 6th. He probably spent more lobbying CJ Wilson's agent.
