$41,500 from Abramoff clients to Hal Rogers.

The Abramoff scandal just won't go away. Hal Rogers collected $41,500 from Abramoff clients--in exchange for what!? As I remember, Hal Rogers gave approx. $35,000 of the Abramoff money that he had received to Unite. What happened to the remaining $6,500 of Abramoff funds that Hal Rogers received? Did he keep it? Did he pocket it? Should Hal Rogers get to pocket $6,500 of Abramoff money and have you vote to re-elect him? NO! Oust the Abramoff rubberstamp. Elect Stepp to the U.S. House KY-05.

A lot of the Southern Baptists are opposed to the gambling interests. Hal Rogers was taking money from the various Indian tribes to facilitate their operating casinos. When he got caught taking money from Abramoff clients to facilitate Indian casinos, he gave all but $6,500 to Unite, and pocketed the remaining $6,500. Do you really want that paid advocate of Indian casinos to be your Congressman? Vote to oust the Republican rubberstamp. Elect Kenneth Stepp, the Democratic candidate, to the U.S. House, KY-05.
