Abramoff money may be connected to phone jamming
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Daschle_group_files_Abramoff_complaint_in_0504.html

A new liberal Senate advocacy group has filed a Federal Elections Commission criminal complaint against the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, who they allege may have illegally concealed the receipt and amount of a contribution from the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians -- a native American client of convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, RAW STORY has learned.

The Senate Majority Project says the Choctaw's contribution helped finance the Republicans’ efforts to stymie get out the vote phone lines by illegally "jamming" calls.

“Not only did the New Hampshire Republicans break the law to prevent people from voting, they may have done so with illegal money from Jack Abramoff’s Indian tribes,” Mike Gehrke, the group's director said. “In a move that would awe even Enron accountants, the New Hampshire Republicans took an illegal contribution and concealed it until after the election, after John Sununu had safely won his U.S. Senate seat.”

More follows from the Majority Project's press release.

1. And what did the President know and when did he know it? New
Hampshire Republicans were talking to someone in the White House when the crime was being committed. Who was it, Mr. President?
