Rep Dave Obey (Democrat from DC, AZ, NY, WI, Puerto Rico?)
Dave Obey received 91% of his campaign contributions from outside of Wisconsin, including a total of $55,400 from individuals in Arizona ($14,850), DC area ($18,200), New York ($14,750), Puerto Rico ($3500), and California($1500).
Dave Obey received $137,000 from special interest PACs based in DC. If you add this $137,000 to the $18,000 from DC-area lobbyists, you get $155,000 from DC-based special interests and their lobbyists. That's $155,000 out of $211,000 total raised.
Yes, 73% of Dave Obey's contributions came once again from Washington, DC compared to 9% from Wisconsin. The other 18% came from Arizona, New York and Puerto Rico.
So, if your Representative raises 91% of his total contributions and 74% of his individual contributions from OUTSIDE of WISCONSIN, who do you think he's beholden to because it sure isn't his constituents?

well said. I only hope one of the three candidates for the Republican nomination will get a head of steam and be able to bring facts like these to the attention of the voters in November. Are you guys going to post on their fundraising?
Can we send Obey to arizona, new york or puerto rico?
Nick Reid can send him there if everyone would get behind him.
