[edit] Connections to Cunningham, too!

Amazing. We need to add all this in all the appropriate places. See if we can follow all this: Last April (2005), Doolittle had a huge fundraise in Las Vegas. "DeLay flew into Las Vegas on the private corporate jet of Group W, one of the companies owned by Brent Wilkes. Doolittle's PAC paid $358.50 for DeLay's privileged seat. [Both Group W and Brent Wilkes need articles.]. Wilkes is the unnamed "co-conspirator No. 1" cited in the bribery acts to which Cunningham pleaded guilty Nov. 28. Wilkes also attended Doolittle's event, giving Doolittle $10,000 in personal and PAC checks... Also attending was Ed Buckham, DeLay's former chief of staff and a founder of the Alexander Strategy Group. Buckham was Wilkes' lobbyist." (emphasis added). http://www.sacbee.com/content/politics/story/14211319p-15037457c.html

This ought to be added to, at the least: DeLay, Group W, Wilkes, Cunningham, Buchkam.

It makes my head spin. I previously thought Cunningham was an isolated island . . . Sholom 19:55, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More on U.S. Family Network

See [1], where we learn that "DeLay's former chief of staff, Edwin A. Buckham, who helped create the group while still in DeLay's employ, and his wife, Wendy, were the principal beneficiaries of [ U.S. Family Network ]'s $3.02 million in revenue, collecting payments totaling $1,022,729 during a five-year period ending in 2001, public and private records show. The group's revenue was drawn mostly from clients of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff, according to its records."
