Bumped from the diaries -- Jonathan

hat tip to Andrea Chamblee over at RaisingKaine for breaking  This Story


It appears that the recent Moveon.org Campaign for an "Oil Free" congress is already making local news and blogosphere, and appears to have it's first tangible victory.  Tom Davis, in responding to a Fairfax connection article titled, "Davis Critized for Ties to Big Oil", Tom Davis stated

"I've never taken a nickel from oil companies," said Davis. "MoveOn.org has been widely discredited ... It's going to be a long [campaign] season."


Follow me below the bump to see exactly how much money Davis has taken from the oil companies.  Mr. Davis, your right, it is going to be a long campaign indeed.

Representative Davis, who is Chairman of the Government reform Committee stated that he hasn'e recieved a nickel, let's look at the numbers.


According to OpenSecrets.org Davis has already taken $12,500 from Oil and Gas companies in 2006, and we're are still in June!!


Contributers include; American Gas Association, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Halliburton, Occidental Petroleum, Washington Gas Light Company, and Williams companies.


In 2004 he took $13,000 from Oil and Gas PACs

In 2002 he took $11,500 from Oil and Gas PACs

In 2000 he took $11,500 from Oil and Gas PACs

In 1998 he took $15,500 from Oil and Gas PACs

In 1996 he took $22,560 from Oil and Gas PACs

In 1994 he took $30,800 from Oil and Gas PACs


Not a nickle?  Mr Delay, that seems like $104,860 worth of nickles.

Mr. Davis' opponent this year is Andrew Hurst a local lawyer who won the DC's Bar Assoc. "top lawyer under 40 for community service", and he also went up against Ken Starr in the 90's and WON.

Note, the poll is also Ms. Chamblee's

We need your help (3.00 / 1)

We need to get the word out the 11th district of Virginia about just how sleezy Mr. Davis really is.

This is how you can help.

  1. VOLUNTEER.  Knock on some doors, make a few phone calls.  Might be a little difficult if you live outside the district, but I'm sure if you e-mail or call the campaign, they can hook you up with some virtual phone banking.

  2. CONTRIBUTE.  This might be a little bit easier then volunteering, and just as effective.  Even volunteers cost the campaign money in terms of Water Bottles, Highlighters, Clip Boards, Printing Walk packets etc...For $50, an entire precinct can be walked, chip in as much as you can.

Time for letters to the editor in every Fairfax County paper, from WaPo to block newsletters.  maybe people won't mind that he took the money, but they sure should care that he's ashamed enough to lie.

That'd be pretty sweet... (3.00 / 0)

but in order to do that we would need a little loot.
Andy has said to me that when he raises enough money he will buy a commercial with the video of when Tom Davis Subpoenaed Terri Schaivo.
CONTRIBUTE here to get the message out about how big of a sleaze ball Tom Davis really is.

Freudian slip, but you called Mr. Davis "Mr. DeLay".

Yup (3.00 / 0)

You're right, I also forgot to add in 2006 to his Money Grabbing.  So his total including '06 is $117,360.  I can't seem to change it now that it has been front paged.

so, Jonathan or any other front pagers, if you could make the changes, that'd be great.

That's great news for you guys...Barton is just too wrapped up with them to lie about it any more.  Its great seeing these guys finally being held accountable for what they are doing to their districts...using the seat to get rich!
