Combine this with the announcement that lawmakers are signing petitions to let through the A&T/T-Mobile merger after $1 million in donations and at least we have a better picture of what Washington is going to look like in the future: 1.

Politicians change their minds and vote "YES" saying that it is good for America after taking a second look at all the details of the proposal.
