Congressman Dan Burton To President Obama, Senator Dodd:

Give Back The Campaign Donatons You Received From AIG Corp.

Washington, DC) Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) has called upon President Obama and Senator Christopher Dodd to return campaign donations they willing received from the AIG Coporation in their previous political campaigns.

Speaking with Talk Show Host Austin Hill on Washington, DC's 630 WMAL Radio, Burton, who called-in to Hill's show, commented on demands from his congressional colleauges that AIG Executives return bonus money paid to them by their employer, and the efforts underway in Congress to legislatively single-out the 73 executives for a possible 80% or 100% taxation of those bonuses.

When asked by Hill if the legislation targetting the 73 private citizens could be stopped, Rep. Burton conceded that the legislation may be unstoppable, but reiterated that the government failed to "set the parameters" of how AIG's bailout funds were to be used, and, additionally, that the government never should have handed-over "bailout funds" to AIG in the first place.

Burton also stated his support for Hill's proposal that President Obama and Senator Christopher Dodd, the top two recipients of AIG campaign donations in previous elections, should return those donations, adding that the President and the Senator need to demonstrate that their respective stances with AIG "are not being influenced" by political campaign dollars.

In a related issue, the Indianapolis RINO’s are lining up to run against Dan Burton in the 2010 GOP Primary.

Dan Burton....Burton....wasn't he involved in Clinton's impeachment?

On another note: I'm writing my congress critters asking them to call for congress to return all money received from any entity that received a bailout. I think this needs a good populist push (and it'll be fun to watch!!).

Saw on Fox that President Stupid was specifically asked about his bribe from AIG to the exact dollar and he intentionally avoided the question and shut out the reporter.

What a scumbag.

Dan Burton....Burton....wasn't he involved in Clinton's impeachment? He was chair of GROC (Gov't Reform and Oversight) committee which did the initial investigations into Slick Willie's activities. I don't believe Burton was a House Prosecutor during the impeachment trial. Steve Buyer was a prosecutor and was rewarded with a gerrymandered congressional district (by the Dems) that was drawn to defeat Buyer in a primary. He won, and DC carpetbagger Dems still come here to run against Buyer, and he fights them off.

Did he ask McCain to return the 60K he got this election cycle?

[A. Morgan]

Dan Burton is my congressmen.

[SERKIT]

Why stop there? Why not ask for money back from HUGE bonuses issued by Fannie Mae to Johnson, Raines, and Gorelick while it was tanking?
