ARE THE CANDIDATES WORTHY OF YOUR VOTE
THE WATCHMAN
From the very beginning, we want to be clear that this is something that all candidates at every level of politics, regardless of political affiliation do. Accepting donations from friends and relatives from out of state is perfectly legal. Accepting donations from corporations, political action committees and unions is also perfectly legal.

An example of what we feel as unacceptable is a Republican politician in Oklahoma accepting contributions from nearly all the Native American Tribes recognized by the federal government and not lifting a finger to write a piece of legislation to assist them. He is the subject of a later story.
But was is chilling is once again foreign money has been detected entering the campaign funds of one political action committee and being distributed to Democratic candidates this time without the candidate’s knowledge. That is a violation of campaign finance law. This is a matter of grave importance to every single voter not just in Oklahoma, but in the Nation. The Federal Election Commission is investigating.
