From CNN, the Minerals Management Service, part of the Department of the Interior, is a cult of corruption. This agency manages oil, gas, minerals on federal lands.
A report, conducted by the Interior Department's inspector general and released earlier this month, found that employees at the agency received improper gifts from energy industry officials and engaged with them in illegal drug use and inappropriate sexual relations.

On that note, Public Citizen has a call to action on how the Democratic National Convention is a corporate pig fest, with millions in advertising, freebies and most importantly access to our supposed representatives.
