Lay and Enron held a big 250,000 Lee P. Brown reelection fundraiser high atop their soon-to-be-repoed downtown office building just a few weeks before the company went belly up. Call it justice.

Enron was also the biggest supporter of Pres Bush and many people in the admin had stocks in enron. This is going to be the whitewater for president bush. The democrats are already getting ready to have hearings on this and will use it to attack him.

"Enron was also the biggest supporter of Pres Bush..."

One of many problems with Libertarians is that they tend to exaggerate "facts" just a wee bit...

METHODOLOGY: The organizations listed here came from two sources: either they were the sponsor of a PAC that donated to the member, or they were listed as individual donor's employer. Donors who give more than $200 must provide information on their occupation and employer.

In cases where two or more people from the same family contributed, the income-earner's occupation/employer is assigned to all family members. If, for instance, Henry Jones lists his employer as First National Bank, his wife Matilda lists "Homemaker" and 12-year old Tammy shows up as "Student," the Center would identify all their contributions as being related to the "First National Bank" since that's the source of the family's income.

NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 1999-2000 election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data released on October 1, 2001. Feel free to distribute or cite this material, but please credit the Center for Responsive Politics.
