I've found a wonderful googlewhack: "John Kerry" and "Citizens Action PAC". He and the corrupt PAC only return one innocent google result, it's also an opensecretswhack (well, it's on both Kerry's info and Citizens Action PAC's info, but this is the way of opensecrets.org). "John Kerry" and "Citizens Watch 2000" too.
And right now Kerry ought hope it stays low on the pagecount, if he knows what's good for him. Because those are two PAC contributions this year that could be a liability for him.
According to opensecrets.org, Kerry has received
$1000 this cycle from Citizens Watch 2000 (under Unknown) and $1000 this cycle from Citizens Action PAC (under ideology) ,
which are both by Ronald White, who was a target of the FBI "pay to play" corruption investigation for the past two years that blew open in Philly this fall (
More coverage at the Philly Inquierer ). Ron White is certainly not a good guy or someone Kerry should want next to his name, even if some think there was an attempt to use the investigation as a big political hammer from the White House. For one, nobody likes someone who runs
crooked charities . Fortunately for Kerry, it was contributed before the FBI issued supeonas, so if he gave it back (especially soon), he might get out of getting in much trouble for it. But in a scandal hungry election cycle, who knows.
Citizens Watch 2000 also gave a thousand to Al Sharpton, so did Citizens Action PAC. They gave a thousand to a Rep Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (D-MI) in 2000 and she gave it back, and both Rep Chaka Fattah (D-PA) and Sen Arlen Scepter (R-PA) gave back this cycle what they got from Citizens Action PAC last cycle (minus one and two thousand dollars respectively).
But Google is turning up nothing about either of these, so he has time. Though, there was something in a Canadian newspaper about a week ago that mentioned that Kerry got money from the Citizens Action PAC, and people are starting to run with the "Kerry is beholden to special interests" meme, so it may just be a matter of time.
