>>>One Enron employee, a Democrat, said the company's
aggressive canvassing of employees helped explain why
the company gave money to three-fourths of the senators
and half of the House members for a total of more than $6
million since 1989. Enron and its political action
committee contributed $113,800 to Mr. Bush's
presidential campaign.

"The request is given to you by the managing director,"
the employee explained. "He encourages you to do it,
knows if you've done it. The higher you go, the more
pressure there is to give. I think it's distasteful."<<<

I guess the above explains how some Democrats got some money from Enron.
