" Most of the lobbying money, $5.38 million in that period, went to the Florida law firm of Kurzban, Kurzban, Weinger & Tetzeli, which served as Haiti's general counsel in the United States.
The lobbying firm headed by Ron Dellums, former California congressman and one-time leader of the Congressional Black Caucus, received $571,326 in 2001 and 2002. Its efforts included discussing "legislation involving Haitian refugees with a member of Congress and congressional staff members," according to a report filed in 1998.
Another firm, headed by Hazel Ross-Robinson, wife of Randall Robinson, founder of the black activist TransAfrica Forum and a longtime advocate for Mr. Aristide, received $367,967.
In 1999, Mrs. Ross-Robinson was paid $46,117 for "publiciz[ing] developments pertaining to the foreign principal's attempts to achieve and maintain political and economic stability."
Phone calls to Mr. Kurzban regarding his work for Mr. Aristide were not returned. The Robinsons and Mr. Dellums could not be reached for comment. And the Haitian Embassy in the District declined to discuss the expenditures." This explains the anger from the Congressional Black Caucus

How does Maxine Waters keep winning elections ? She refuses to talk to anyone who doesn't shower her with superlatives.
