No Demos received money from him

The letter writer who tried to imply a bias in your newspaper has his facts dead wrong, so I thought I’d set the record straight. (Wednesday letter, “Herald only focuses on GOP recipients”).

Lots of senators and congressmen received money from Indian tribes.

Not one Democrat received any money from Jack Abramoff.

That’s the difference.

Every person indicted is a Republican.

Every person to step down is a Republican.

Every person under investigation is a Republican.

And there are more to come.

The Faux News crowd needs to watch real news.

The Herald has accurately represented the truth.
