The Texans for Lawsuit Reform (TLR) is duplicating their Texas efforts in Ohio as the Federal Elections Commission filings show a Political Action Committee with $1.7 million dollars, most from TEXANS, for a race between liberal Congressman Dennis Kucinich and 15 term incumbent Congresswoman Mary Kaptur (D-Toledo) because of redistricting lines that have paired Kucinich with the Democratic incumbent. The REPUBLICAN money is to HELP Kucinich because he is believed a weaker candidate against a Republican in the General election.El Paso's Bill Sanders gave $18,750. Why Mr. Sanders?? Leo Linbeck III a deep pocket Texans for Lawsuit Reform contributor, gave $775,000 to the federal pack named PAC Campaign for Primary Accountability - which is promoting Democrat Congressman Dennis Kucinich. Smells fishy to me!!
Mr. Bill Sander's friends, associates and contributors to his son-in-law Robert "Baytoe" O'Rourke's congressional campaign to unseat 8 term incumbent Congressman Silvestre Reyes include El Paso contributors to the Super PAC created in part by Bill Sanders. They are: Campr II Partners $18,750 (entity tied to Bill Sanders), Jack Cardwell $6,250, Miguel Fernandez $12,500, Ike Monty $500, Kirk Robison (Peter Piper Pizza) $4,000 (FEC records). This means big bucks coming to El Paso against Reyes, not just through the normal campaign account of O'Rourke but washed and "clean" money that surpasses the congressional cap limits to a congressional candidate, but can be dumped on the head of an incumbent.
