Republican Senator of Minnesota, Norm Coleman, taken to task for accepting campaign contributions from indicted senator Ted Stevens.

::::::::

A new campaign video is out taking the repbulican senator from Minnesota, Norm Coleman, to task for his accepting $32,000 dollars in campagin contributions from indicted Alaskan senator Ted Stevens. Norm Coleman also joined Ted Stevens on "free" luxury fishing trips in Alaska with other now indicted executives from oil companies such as VECO. Some of these executives have now been convicted for bribing public officials.

Watch the new YouTube video below:

Among the top corporate interests that have "donated" to the Norm Coleman campagin are:

Real Estate... $877,280
Insurance... $531,260
Commercial Banks... $418,425
Big Pharma... $329,567
Lobbyists... $300,459
Gas and Oil... $247,90

I am sure nothing is wanted in return for these generous contributions. It should also not be so surprising that Norm Coleman is for Big Oil, offshore drilling, and helping create jobs outside of the state of Minnesota instead of supporting the fledgling wind and ethanol energy companies that will create jobs right here in Minnesota.
