Statements about Campaign Finance
"2008: Unions Spent $400 Million to Elect Obama."
"I have won more elections than any chairman since 1938."
"When President, then candidate, Obama was asked to disclose some of his donors because there was suspicion of their being the foreign source of money into his campaign, they refused to do it."
"We haven't yet taken out a negative ad."
Just like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, "the AFL-CIO receives dues from foreign entities associated with it."
"Groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections."
Says Roy Blunt "secretly inserts language to benefit tobacco giant Philip Morris" into a national security bill while "Blunt's girlfriend and son are lobbyists for the cigarette company, and just days earlier, 26 Philip Morris executives wrote checks to Blunt totaling $23,000."
Independent groups behind ads attacking Democratic candidates are "front groups for foreign-controlled companies."
