A 29% approval rating for Congress? "Buyer's remorse," say authors of Caucus of Corruption

Shocking new book details the brazen corruption of Congressional Democrats.

Boston, MA (May 16, 2007) — A new Gallup poll shows that 29% of Americans approve -- and 64% disapprove -- of the way Congress is doing its job. In fact, approval ratings are down 4 percentage points from last month. For Matt Margolis and Mark Noonan, authors of Caucus of Corruption: The Truth About the New Democratic Majority (ISBN 0-9778-9847-4, World Ahead Publishing, May, 2007) there's nothing surprising about it.

"In the five months they've been back in the majority, they've accomplished nothing," asserts Matt Margolis, Caucus of Corruption co-author and one of the country's most respected bloggers, "the 2006 elections taught them that attacking Republicans is more important than pursing an agenda. Now that they're back in power, the lack of leadership is finally starting to reveal itself to American people."

"If the American people knew about all the corruption in the Democratic Party, their approval would be even lower, " adds co-author Mark Noonan, citing three recent scandals that have not been given enough attention in the media- Dianne Feinstein's resignation from the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee due to a conflict of interest that benefited her husband to the tune of millions, and Nancy Pelosi's earmarking $25 million in waterfront improvements in San Francisco -- an investment almost certain to boost the value of nearby land her husband owns, and a series of shady land deals that have made millions for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. But as Caucus of Corruption shows, such obvious abuses of the public trust and treasury are just business as usual for congressional Democrats.

In Caucus of Corruption: The Truth About The New Democratic Majority, Margolis and Noonan take dead aim at the "ethical" leaders of today's ruling party and reveal --

• Nancy Pelosi's cronyism, campaign finance and immigration law violations
• How Harry Reid became a millionaire on a senator's salary, his questionable land deals, connections to disgraced lobbyists and billionaire casino owners
• media darling Barack Obama's cozy relationship with the indicted fundraiser next door
• Clinton foot soldier Rahm Emanuel's love for dirty money
• William Jefferson's refrigerated $80,000 cash stash

"There's no excuse for the lack of media coverage of the corruption in the Democratic Party," Margolis comments. "Now that they're back in the majority, it's time to hold them accountable."

The definitive resource on Democratic corruption, Caucus of Corruption is a must-read for conservatives, political junkies...and everyone concerned about the dubious ethics and goals of the new Democratic majority.
