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.

Matt Blunt in Texas Today; No Word on Whether He Met With DeLay
Matt Blunt attended a political meeting of the Republican Governors Association today in Houston, Texas--- home town of Tom DeLay.
No word yet on whether Blunt visited his political godfather or met with representatives of RGA deep pocket, Johnson Controls.
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...
Site has no credibilty?
Looks like Fired Up has plenty of it to me and even among its detractors or how much they might wish it were otherwise. Ha, ha, ha. ;>D LMAO. Way to go guys!
