Sununu has accepted donations from the sub-prime industry, terrorist financiers, and has funneled even more dirty money through a shady, D.C. attack group

(Manchester, NH) - The Union Leader reports today that John Sununu has continued accepting dirty money to finance his campaigns, this quarter accepting $3,000 from Countrywide PAC, the political arm of sub-prime mortgage broker Countrywide Financial Corp. This donation continues Sununu's pattern of using dirty money to finance his campaigns -- last quarter, Sununu was forced to return donations from a suspected terrorist financier, and Sununu's longtime friends at Americans for Job Security continue to pump hundreds of thousands of dollars from undisclosed donors into the state in an attempt to influence the election.

Group has worked on behalf of Myanmar's oppressive military regime, consulted on 2002 phone jamming scandal

(Concord, NH) - New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley today called on Senator John E. Sununu to return $2,250 in donations from the disgraced Republican lobbying firm DCI Group. The group made headlines recently due to a Myanmar scandal and revelations that they had accepted $348,000 to lobby on behalf of Myanmar's military junta, and the firm also has a history of unethical activity in New Hampshire as its employees were consulted during the 2002 New Hampshire phone-jamming scandal.
