Besides Don Young being selfish and heartless with his money for the "bridge to nowhere" he apparently also has VERY close ties to Abramoff.

Washington, DC (AHN) - A former congressional aide and lobbyist testified how he had access to insider information from Bush administration procurement chief David Safavian.
Neil Volz admitted that the information was used to further projects for Republican influence-peddler Jack Abramoff. He added that Abramoff took Safavian on a lavish golf trip to Scotland, according to CNN.
Other lawmakers also mentioned in assisting the Abramoff team were: Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-West Virginia, Rep. Don Young, R-Alaska, and Rep. Steven LaTourette, R-Ohio .
The testimony is part of the trial against Safavian on allegations of lying to investigators about his assistance to Abramoff while he was chief of staff to the administrator of the General Services Administration.

http://benfrank.net/http://www.benfrank.net/patriots/and let me know what you think of the site(s)...he's kinda a friend of mine and is wondering if people will go for the innovative rollover platform, a site with lots of info for informing and motivating people, or would a basic candidate site with volunteer and contribute buttons be better?
He is also encouraging(and willing to assist with their websites) other impeachment candidates to step foward. We must stand together and demand more as the democratic party.
