CREW needs a member of Congress to step up and file this complaint (via
America Blog)--
From the CREW Press Release
"The complaint against Rep. Ney is based on his conduct with regard to the Tigua Indians of El Paso, Texas, a tribe represented by lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is known to be close to Ney," Sloan said today. "The complaint is based on e-mails made public by the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, sworn testimony before the Indian Affairs Committee, tax records, and Mr. Ney's campaign committee and political action committee Federal Election Commission filings."
"A review of the evidence suggests that Mr. Ney may have broken criminal statutes as well as House rules."
"We are hopeful that at least one Member of Congress will recognize the Mr. Ney's conduct merits an investigation by the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and have the courage and integrity to forward this complaint to the Ethics Committee," Sloan said today.
I thank God every day for the gerrymandering that gave me Ted Strickland instead of Bob Ney. People here in eastern Ohio have no idea this stuff went on. The local media barely covers it, and when they do there is always a "concerned" Bob Ney on TV telling everyone it's just an attack by the SCLM or liberals/Democrats, take your pick. Will one member of the House please file this complaint?
