Saginaw Chippewah Tribe Campaign Contributions

Dr. Dean is correct.  Jack Abramoff and his wife, Pamela, never gave one penny to Democrats.  The facts get a little more muddled when looking at the Indian Tribe clients.  There's a tremendous amount of confusion over this, so I'm hoping to help with that by highlighting one tribe.

Before hiring Jack Abramoff the Saginaw Chippewah Indian Tribe preferred to give its money to Democrats. After hiring Abramoff it was a completely different story. Those who are following the scandals surrounding the Republican lobbyist are familiar with the assertion that Abramoff directed his Indian clients to send campaign contributions to Democrats. Before I take this discussion any further I will repeat what I have said before, it was not illegal to make or receive these contributions. Democrats have countered with the argument saying Abramoff told his Indian clients to reduce their current level of giving to Democrats. It really appears that the truth lies somewhere in between.
