October 18, 2012

Taking a closer look at Pat Kreitlow’s finance report shows a very troubling donation from a radical organization that advocates for drastic defense cuts. Kreitlow took over $2,000 from the Council For A Livable World. A organization that “argues that Iran poses no current threat to the United States.” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/17/2012)

Please consider this comment from the NRCC as you cover Pat Kreitlow’s liberal radical donors.

NRCC COMMENT: “This is just another example of how Pat Kreitlow only looks out for himself and will do anything to bring his tax and spend agenda to Washington. Pat Kreitlow needs to explain why his campaign is being funded by this radical group that argues for drastic defense cuts that could put our troops at risk.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Andrea Bozek
