Find a Democrat and you find creative corruption.
"Charities controlled by U.S. Reps. Joe Baca, D-San Bernardino, and George Miller, D-Martinez, have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate entities with a vested interest in their policymaking and have used that money, in part, to pay salaries for friends and family members, according to a New York Times report published this past weekend.
Baca and Miller were the only two California congressmen listed among 25 lawmakers with such charities in the report.
The story goes on to show that Baca in particular has used his influence in ways that have benefited his charity's donors. Among other things, he sponsored gambling legislation that would have helped several local tribes; sent a letter endorsing the merger of Comcast and NBC; and sent a letter urging the Department of Energy to approve a loan application by local energy company Rentech Inc., which sponsored a golf tournament held by Baca's foundation."
Sadly, neither Baca nor George Miller is on any list of potential losers on November 2. Instead the people of California and the nation are the losers.
Fire Pelosi and you take away some of the abused power of the Democrats--then we need to assure the GOP does not mimic the actions of the Democrats.
