CREW and the war on Tom Delay:
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington was founded two years ago by Norm Eisen, a lawyer, and Louis Mayberg, the head of the Bethesda, Md., mutual-fund firm ProFunds. Both say they worried that too many decisions by politicians in Washington were based on contributions. Once the founders hired Ms. [Melanie] Sloan, the organization’s made Mr. [Tom] DeLay a priority. ——— “In Washington, Watchdogs Bear Watching : One of DeLay’s Severest Critics Isn’t ,” http://www.citizensforethics.org/press/pressclip.php?view=200 By BRODY MULLINS, The Wall Street Journal May 10, 2005 via CREW website
Melanie Sloan is a former Biden staffer... also, IIRC, she was a Schumer staffer.
