PAC funding for Kerry and Kucinich??

[cavebat2000]

I found this interesting if I am understanding this correctly. If i am not please correct me. Don't both of these people protest to not accept PAC funds? I found a good campaign finance website and found that BOTH, especially John Kerry take PAC funds.

2. Those donors are individuals who are employees in that industry

but not part of a PAC.

Can you post what PAC donations you are speaking of?

3. Well it said...

"Contribs from PACs"

It didn't say individuals. I dont know why you say that. Tell me if there is something im missing.

8. Hey, I believed you guys!

I just asked about it once because it struck me as a pretty intriguing coincidence. Not a major deal to me anymore, honestly.

Peace.

11. I didn't fault you on that.

My beef has always been with Dean's seed money and where it came from. Entergy folks are NOT good people.

And Kerry has NEVER taken money from ANY pac, corporate or special interest, while Dean has always gotten corporate money. Yet many Dean supporters label Kerry a corporatist. Very calculating and dishonest.

7. If you look,

Kucinich's "PAC" contributions are from organized labor, as in Unions. The thing is, no National Union has endorsed him to the best of my knowledge wheich means it has to be individual contributions from Union members since most of the National Unions have endorsed Dean or Gep.

Hope that helps. I can't explain Kerry's data based on this form.

9. OK thank you.

10. The steelworkers endorsed Gephart.

These are individual contributions.
