TELL NUSSLE TO GIVE IT BACK!
Iowa Democratic Party Calls on Congressman Nussle to Give Back DeLay PAC Money
Wednesday, September 28, 2005DES MOINES – The Iowa Democratic Party calls on Congressman Nussle today to return $15,000 in campaign funds he received in the last three years from House Majority Leader Tom DeLay’s political action committee. DeLay was indicted today of criminal conspiracy associated with the PAC and has stepped down as House Majority Leader.
“In light of Tom DeLay’s criminal indictment today, we call on Congressman Nussle to return campaign funds from DeLay’s PAC. Congressman Nussle has done nothing to sever his ties from the Republican culture of corruption in Washington,” said Iowa Democratic Party Executive Director Mike Milligan. “Iowans deserve a representative in Washington who isn’t associated with DeLay’s ethical and criminal violations.”
Jim Nussle received $5,000 on June 20, 2002, March 16, 2004, and June 29, 2004 from Americans for a Republican Majority, Rep. Tom Delay’s political action committee. [ www.opensecrets.org]

This makes me mad... mad enough to comment on it at 3:30 in the morning...
I hope Nussle does give back the money...
Somehow I doubt that Nussle will give back the money until the IDP puts out an ad against him. And they won't do that yet--there are still too many Democratic candidates in the field.
