FERGUSON ACCEPTED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM CONVICTED FELON BOB NEY
Ferguson Refuses to Return Tainted Money

Scotch Plains, NJ -- Rep. Mike Ferguson has taken thousands of dollars from convicted felon Rep. Bob Ney and should immediately divest himself from those funds, said Linda Stender for Congress campaign manager Ed Oatman.

Rep. Bob Ney agreed on Friday to plead guilty to federal criminal charges that he made false statements and conspired to commit fraud and violate federal lobbying laws in the congressional corruption probe spawned by disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Ferguson has accepted a total of $7,500 from the American Liberty PAC -- Ney's leadership PAC. According to FEC reports, in 2003 Ferguson accepted $2,500 from the Ney PAC. In 2004, he accepted $5,000 from the Ney PAC.

Blue 7th, a grassroots organization group focusing on NJ's 7th congressional district, called today for Rep. Mike Ferguson to finally purge his campaign of cash connected to indicted Texas Congressman and former Majority Leader Tom DeLay. After being indicted and having more than one top former aide convicted of corruption, DeLay announced yesterday that he would resign his seat in Congress and not seek reelection.

"The culture of corruption is pervasive in Washington DC, reaching to the highest levels of Congress and to individual members like Mike Ferguson," said Blue 7th chairman Nathan Rudy. "DeLay's resignation proves that Ferguson's Texas benefactor was crippled by corruption scandals, and it is time for Ferguson to give up the tainted cash he received from DeLay and his cronies."
