A new study by Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington (CREW), a non-partisan activist group, found that 72 members of Congress diverted some $5.1 million in campaign funds to their relatives, or companies owned by their relatives, over the past six years.

Wiki: According to The Washington Post, CREW is funded in part through the efforts of "Democracy Alliance," a loose group of approximately one hundred progressive-oriented political donors who saw CREW as a possible counterweight to the conservative-leaning Judicial Watch.


Non-partisan my ass. Believe nothing from a press release until independently verified, including uses of the words "and" and "the".

Non-partisan means they're not biased between big goverment Republicans and big government Democrats. They can be biased against anyone else all they want. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Meanwhile, the husband of a presidential candidate receives speaking fees of $10 million a year, many from groups with business before Congress. No, no funny business there.

Yet another strike against coercive power concentrations. Pefect illustration, actually.
