Now she won't accept a campaign contribution from a Wal-Mart PAC. I have news for Hillary, Wal-Mart is conducting their business today as they did in 1992. Pretty amazing.Hillary Clinton Returns Wal-Mart Cash Staff and agencies 03 February, 2006 By DEVLIN BARRETT WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gathered checks from Hollywood friends, John Kerry ‘s wife and even a former Republican congressman, but records filed Friday show she returned cash from an even older ally — Wal-Mart. Some $1,500 of that money came from Amo Houghton Jr., the former Republican congressman who retired in 2004. Houghton, an heir to the Corning glass company in upstate New York, did not immediately return a call for comment. The junior senator from New York is also a potential presidential candidate in 2008. She took in plenty of donations from box office stars and political heavyweights, according to paperwork filed with the Federal Election Commission . Clinton returned $5,000 to the political action committee of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., a company with long ties to the Clintons dating back to their days in Arkansas, where Wal-Mart is headquartered. The senator served on the Wal-Mart board from 1986 to 1992, and was close with the Walton family that created the nation‘s largest retailer. "Cities and states are saying we can‘t keep holding the bag here," Clinton told the conference, citing a new Maryland law requiring Wal-Mart to spend 8 percent of payroll in health benefits or contribute to insurance plans. Actor Danny DeVito gave $1,000, and actress Morgan Fairchild gave $1,500. Edie Falco of "The Sopranos" gave $1,000, and Jessica Seinfeld — comedian Jerry Seinfeld‘s wife — gave $4,200. leadingthecharge.com
