Don Marti's answer

[Jon 'maddog' Hall, Executive Director, Linux International]

Hi,

While Don's answer below indicates that Don believes the senator got paid the
$18,500. by Disney "PACs, employees, family members, etc." to a senator
in South Carolina just to introduce this bill, it might be pointed out that
the same people associated with Phillip Morris paid him more, and they probably
had absolutely no interest in SSSCA.  Of course the Phillip Morris money might
have gone up in smoke.....

And Bryan, the alleged use of all those sources to allegedly give the alleged
senator his alleged bribe might explain why he dutifully did not list those
contributions.  They were probably all under the legal limit.  Allegedly.

But we should probably drop that alleged insinuation.

Looks like they got a bargain -- it was only $18,500.  I'll have to 
send out a correction.
