U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL,1) is under investigation by the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) following questions raised by the Sun-Times and Better Government Association in a recent article. The Sun-Times/BGA probe questioned the use of a $1 million grant as well as the lawmaker's campaign spending.

Late last year, the Sun-Times and BGA questioned the use of $1 million in funds that was granted to an organization founded by the lawmaker. The funds came from SBC, which is now AT&T. The newspaper and watchdog group also questioned the use of funds for Rush's Beloved Community Christian Church, where he is a pastor, and also made note that the congressman failed to report information on paying rent for his congressional office, which could be a violation of House rules.....snip~

Rush Facing Ethics Probe Following Sun-Times/BGA Article | Progress Illinois


Once again Bobby Rush is under an Ethics Probe and Investigation.....like Jesse Jackson and his clan. Bobby Rush and his are also tied to a Church. The difference, Bobby being a Pastor and actually having a Church. Some more of the usual from the City of Chicago and Illinois. What say ye?
 
Giving churches exemption from having to file a 990 form that itemizes where the money has gone just creates a temptation for corruption. Every other non-profit group must file a 990.


It is just the nature of the beast. Check out the number of non religious charities that have been found fraud. Opportunists are always waiting for an easy scam.
 
Hmm...I don't get it. Last week the only story about a congressman was the R dude kissing another mans wife? Why don't the rest of the country hear about this....?

Sex sells. A big plus to have actual visual of them making out. Reading about misuse of money is boring , reading about dirty sex is titillating.

That's true.....but then they could have talked about Boobies ties to the bangers before he found Jesus and all that. Plus he is a pastor now. Not to mention they could have brought up, how many times he has been arrested for civil disobedience as a Congressman and how many times he has been investigated for Ethics violations.
