The System Works!
Email Rep. Pete Visclosky (D-IN) may use his campaign funds to pay his legal bills stemming from the federal investigation into his activities.
Unwind that just a bit: Visclosky is reportedly under investigation for his ties to the PMA Group. Federal investigators reportedly suspect the PMA Group is involved in campaign finance fraud. Visclosky – who has taken over $140,000 from PMA employees since 2001, and about a million total from the firm and its clients – may use his campaign funds to defend himself against questions about his involvement with PMA.
Visclosky has shed $16,000 in contributions from individuals who said they were PMA employees but, according to press reports, appear not to have been.
Visclosky had asked the Federal Election Commission for a thumbs-up on his legal spending plan; the FEC issued a draft opinion granting its okay on Friday. The panel is expected to vote on the issue this week.

Nice. These lawyers are something else in DC. Time to replace them with non-lawyers. What a mess.

Dear America:
Lets make the next six years know as the “Incumbent Rebellion” of the people. Let’s throw every one of these sock tuckers out of office once and for all! Especially Nancy Pelousy…the poster child for ########### government.
