Roberts Linked to Indicted Senator Ted Stevens
Made trip to Alaska, supported Senator's earmarks, accepted campaign contributions
Topeka, KS – Yesterday, Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska was indicted on seven felony charges for failing to disclose over $250,000 worth of materials and labor gifted by an oil company for renovations to his Alaska home.
Stevens is good friends with Kansas Senator Pat Roberts. Roberts flew to Alaska in 2000 to emcee an event dedicating an Anchorage airport named after Ted Stevens.
Stevens, the longest serving Republican senator was first elected 40 years ago in 1968. Roberts too has been in Washington over 40 years.
"When you've been in Washington as long as Pat Roberts has, you get far too cozy with characters like Ted Stevens," Slattery said.
Roberts supported Stevens' exorbitant earmarks in the Senate. Most notably, Roberts voted for the notorious "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska, a wasteful $230 million project.
"Pat Roberts should not claim to represent the best interests of Kansans when he supports wasteful pork barrel spending in Alaska," Slattery said.
Stevens and his leadership PAC, Northern Lights, have donated nearly $20,000 to Roberts' campaign. Yesterday, Slattery demanded that Roberts donate an equivalent amount to charity.

The $100,000 bill picture I use to symbolize the greed of our politicians is was issued in 1934, lasted less than 10 years and was only used by banks. It was then and is now illegal for an individual to own one. Today they are all in museums.
The largest bill that was circulated to people was a $10,000 bill which has not been printed since 1933. Some private colectors still have them.
