AP via local newspaper St. Joseph News & Observer:
"It's not enough that Fred Upton raises millions of dollars from the very companies he regulates, he then has the staff director of the Energy and Commerce Committee threaten the leaders of those companies when they support efforts to fix our broken campaign finance system," Clements said in a statement.
I don't know whether to be happier about Clements' story above, or Upton's story below:
Upton acknowledged speaking with donors to the Mayday PAC and said they were surprised to see their money used to attack him.
"They are really ashamed," Upton told the Kalamazoo Gazette. "They are distraught. They said they were taken for a ride. It's too late. They bought the stuff. It came out of the blue."
