December 9, 2009
Press Release
Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02), Congressman Jack Kingston (GA-01), Congressman Mark Souder (IN-03), and Congressman Jeff Miller (FL-01) today demanded an audit of stimulus funds.  Just this morning, reports showed that Mark Penn, Hillary Clinton’s pollster, received $6 million in stimulus money to preserve three jobs.
