I came across an article about Republican Rep. Chris Chocola (IN-2) who says he has done nothing wrong and that he has not taken money from big drug manufacturing groups. There are a few pieces of evidence that indicate that Chocola has close ties with big PAC's:
1. Chocola loved Tom DeLay
2. Chocola has received $533,669 from PACs for this 2006 election cycle
3. For the 2004 campaign, Chocola got $692,850 from PACs
4. For the 2001-02 campaign, Chocola got $623,352 from PACs
Remember when Chocola was against aid for the victims of Hurricane Katrina? His quote: "...Having said that, I believe we must not compound the natural disaster of Katrina by creating a fiscal disaster in Congress - it is our duty to ensure that we reign in other government spending in any event, and especially in this time of national emergency..."
