Congressman Doolittle - Corrupt or Ineffective?

Published Tuesday, August 22, 2006 by Nate | E-mail this post



From SourceWatch: John Doolittle, a Mormon is an "ardent opponent of casino gambling" yet he still held a fundraiser at a Wizards-Kings basketball game in "Casino" Jack Abramoff's skyboxes. These skyboxes were paid for by Abramoff's tribal casino clients. According to the Washington Post Doolittle was "particularly close to Abramoff" and later referred to him as one of his "closest friends." Doolittle was indeed close to Abramoff and he has had many problems related to that. Doolittle failed to report the skybox fundraiser in his FEC filings. (Sacramento Bee)

Doolittle's chief of staff Kevin Ring left Doolittle's office to work at Abramoff's lobbying firm Greenberg Traurig.

Julie Doolittle, the congressman's wife, has received intense scrutiny for her fundraising operation, Sierra Dominion Financial Services. Two of her clients were her husband's campaign committee and leadership PAC from which she received a 15% commission from every donation. The Washington Post provides and example of how she, and her husband, profit every time Congressman Doolittle receives a contribution. She has received at least $215,000 from Mr. Doolittle's various campaign committees since 2001.

This man is one of The. Most. Corrupt. men running around the halls of power in Washington DC. He is bought and paid for the legacy of convicted felon Jack Abramoff, disgraced corrupt Congressman Tom Delay and convicted-felon Congressman Duke Cunningham's war-profiteering benefactors.

It's time for a Representative who knows what it means to serve on behalf of "We The People!"

Support Lt. Col. Charlie Brown for Congress! Only a fool could believe that John Doolittle represents anyone besides those who are good for his own bank account.

[For The Record] I am in no way affiliated with the Charlie Brown for Congress campaign other than being listed on their websites' blogroll. (Thanks guys, I'm proud to be a part) I do hope to be helping them soon as I know the Real Deal when I see it!
