Forbes received campaign contributions from House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's ARMPAC. DeLay has since resigned and is being prosecuted on charges of felony money laundering of campaign finances and conspiracy to launder money.

To date, Forbes has not offered to return or donate to charity any of the $30,000 he received, despite calls from Democrats to do so. <3><4> He has donated $1,000 he received from Jack Abramoff to charity; however, he kept the $4,000 he received from Indian tribes that hired Abramoff for lobbying work. <5> He also accepted $1,000 from convicted former Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham and $5,000 from the founder of MZM, who pleaded guilty to corruption charges.<6>

Also of interest is the "Hero of the Tax Payer" award Forbes received from Americans for Tax Reform (ATR).<7> A Senate report revealed recently that ATR, headed by Grover Norquist whom admitted to using ATR to sell clout to and launder money for Jack Abramov, may have violated its tax exempt status.<8>
