FiredUpMissouri.com Exclusive Report
DELAY GAVE ROY BLUNT $150,000
A political committee controlled by embattled Majority Leader Tom DeLay made two contributions in the spring of 2000 totaling $150,000 to Majority Whip Roy Blunt's Rely on Your Beliefs Committee.
Previous reports put total contributions from Delay to Blunt at significantly lower amounts. But those figures greatly under-reported Delay's contributions to Blunt because they overlooked the activities of a little known Delay-controlled committee called ARMPAC-Convention. FiredUpMissouri.com discovered the two previously unkown contributions while reviewing documents filed by ROYB Fund with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
According to the Ethics Commission documents, on March 31, 2000 ARMPAC-Convention made a contribution to ROYB Fund-Non-Federal Committee in the amount of $50,000. On May 24, 2000, ARMPAC-Convention donated an addtional $100,000.
During the 2000 election cycle, ROYB-Non Federal Committee was used to funnel money to state candidates in Missouri, including the campaign of then-Secretary of State candidate Matt Blunt.

Kudos to Roy and FiredUpMissouri...
...for bringing a little national pub to this issue.
Today's National Journal House Race Hotline (subscription only) cites this FiredUp post as the source of some fine fact-finding and reporting.
Little wonder that Roy Blunt has taken to attacking bloggers in his fundraising letters...
