Anna - I'm not suggesting a "smear campaign" against Bachus. I feel that any letters written about this should be copied to him because he represents Mt. Brook.

Now, in order to REALLY get into the nitty-gritty, one would have to study Bachus' voting record on matters of casinos and whatever else Abramoff lobbied. I personally cannot take on that kind of research - I just don't have the time.

And there not be anything illegal at all - politicians trade favors, votes all the time, especially if it doesn't directly impact most of their own constituents.

Heck - Bachus himself may be startled to know about this. HE might want an investigation. The whole Abramoff story is very complicated and has a lot of arms.

Sounds like he had a heart attack or something sudden on a plane trip.

Spencer Bacchus is one of the sponsors of the bill that put an end to online gambling so I think he couldn't  have dealt Aruba and Curacao a more harmful blow.  His record in putting a stop to this practice is well known.

Yes, the Front Page says (and possibly Bacchus) as a suggestion that he is connected to Abramoff.  I certainly will send all of this to his office for his comments but do not think it particularly wise to alienate the only politician to openly help Beth aside from Gov. Riley.  

And I won't do it without instructions from the family that this is what they want done, either, for I highly doubt that it is.  I also find it morally objectionable to imply a connection when the opposite would seem to be the case.

That is a routine entry into the congressional record like dozens every day and nothing special about it at all.  I don't understand what it has to do with Bacchus.  It was made before Natalee disappeared and by Burns of Montana.

Abramoff has been in jail since 8-2005 I do believe and nothing since Natalee disappeared has been entered anywhere.  

Bacchus was just re-elected by the people of MB and Vestavia and they seem quite happy with his performance.  That is their business, not mine, and I am not going to be a party to claiming a connection between Bacchus and Abramoff like this without absolute proof.

In anyone has proof of anything at all, please contact the Attorney General with that information as I am sure he would like to know even more than I would.  This thing with Abramoff is long past the "congressional inquiry" stage and has been for about a year now.  He is sitting in jail and has been for quite some time.

Guilt by association only works when there is some proof of the association part and Bacchus has OPPOSED online gambling, costing the online casinos potentially millions of dollars.  That hardly says he is in their pocket as the implication would seem.

This seems much more a political attack than a matter of truth or fact.  Why claim a connection MIGHT exist when this man has opposed the casino lobby as few others have done?  I guess I just don't understand the pay off from doing this.  

Go for it!  I can't stop anybody but I sure am not going to make any such accusations without some reason for doing so.  He is one of the few to actually inflict financial pain on the casinos operating online from the Caribbean. And in many ways, that is almost as good as the boycott is doing.  Similar amounts of money involved in their losses.
