Enron and its employees contributed $57,499 to campaign committees for Ashcroft, previously a Republican senator from Missouri, in 1999-2000, according to Holly Bailey, researcher for the Center for Responsive Politics. See: Message 16892288 Dear Scott, Somehow the rich always make out. Kenneth Lay is a close personal friend of the Bush family, both father and son. Lay contributed a great deal of money to John Ascroft's re-election campaign in MISSOURI. The amount of money contributed may have exceeded federal requirements but I am not sure without looking back at earlier posts which indicate that a corporation can contribute only $2,000. Ashcroft received around $50,000, I believe. "What a legacy he is leaving." Well, Kenneth Lay gave George W. Bush, our President, a great deal of money for his various campaigns.
